… Council’s Carbon Neutral Pathway 7.4 However, this still leaves a 20,000 tCO2e gap to zero by 2030. These remaining emissions will mainly come from: - Buildings that are not suitable for retrofit of energy efficiency measures or renewable energy and therefore retain a higher energy consumption. - Employee commuting / business travel where using non-fleet vehicles that are not ultra-low emissions…
… Flintshire County Council’s Carbon Footprint 5.1 Flintshire County Council has, over a number of years, committed to the reduction of carbon emissions through proactive carbon reduction strategies. During this period, approximately 60% of the Council’s carbon emissions from energy sources have been reduced through proactive programmes including conversion of street lighting to LED, utilising energy…
… efficiency measures across its assets, and leading the way with renewable energy schemes such as solar and methane capture. 5.2 The Council now identifies that this strategy needs to be widened to encompass all carbon emissions from the Council’s assets and services and has therefore committed to become net zero carbon by 2030.

… be eliminated. Due to this, the carbon that cannot be removed must be compensated for through generation of renewable energy and carbon offsetting by, for example, tree planting. By generating renewable energy that is then utilised by the Council, we can reduce emissions associated with using energy from the grid. 5.5 The scale and scope of this strategy is informed by a number of key constraints…
