… actions will be delivered under all the key targets of the new Council Strategy: Climate Change o To continue monitoring Council and district-wide emissions to best inform decision making in reaching net zero. o To continue consulting and supporting projects that reduce heat and power demands in Council assets as well as best support community initiatives that reduce heat and power demands…
… the Council’s own emissions and those across the wider district: a. Reduce heat and power demands in buildings b. Increase the uptake of low and zero carbon technologies c. Decarbonise the transport sector; and, d. Offset any remaining emissions. 4. Achieving the net zero target will require a profound and ongoing nationwide shift in policies and behaviours. This shift involves implementing new…
… transport and heating, driving progress toward a low- carbon future. Grid upgrades and increased renewable energy integration are key to maintaining this momentum. Figure 1 illustrates how the national grid has decarbonised since 1990. Figure 1: Grid Decarbonisation (Megatonnes, Carbon Dioxide Equivalent) 1990 – 2023. 34. The district has continued to see a growth in renewable energy capacity…
… Area 2023. Demand Reduction and Low Carbon Heating 39. Demand reduction lowers energy consumption and emissions while providing co-benefits like reduced costs, improved air quality, and enhanced energy security. These benefits are amplified when combined with energy efficiency and renewable technologies, easing grid pressure and resulting in a more resilient, low-carbon energy system. 40…
