… that trap heat. There are seven main GHGs that contribute to climate change, as covered by the UNFCC's Kyoto Protocol - they are: • Carbon dioxide (CO2) • Methane (CH4) • Nitrous oxide (N2O) • Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) • Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) • Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) • Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) Each GHG has differing warming impacts depending on how long they remain in the atmosphere and how…
… boilers for heating our homes and buildings. Example of carbon reduction and removal: Installing energy efficiency and low carbon heating options to reduce and replace emissions from our buildings Avoiding carbon- intensive activities. Efficient use of resources and implementing measures to reduce demand. Replacing high carbon intensity energy sources with renewable and low carbon…
… on a path to Net Zero by 2030. Our primary focus is on Carbon Dioxide (CO2) but our city-wide approach also tackles emissions from other important greenhouse gases. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas emitted by humans, largely due to the use of fossil fuels to power our economy, heat our properties and for transport. Once CO2 is emitted, the land surface and the ocean take some of the carbon out…
… – for example petrol, diesel, natural gas, etc. • Scope 2 - Energy indirect emissions Emissions occurring as a consequence of the use of grid- supplied electricity, heat, steam and / or cooling within Newcastle’s local authority boundary. • Scope 3 – Other indirect emissions All other emissions that occur outside Newcastle’s local authority boundary as a result of activities taking place within…
… at city-wide level (within the local authority boundary) • Transport data including cordon counts, patronage data from public transport operators, etc • Census data - due to be carried out in 2021 • Energy efficiency and low carbon / renewable heating installation databases and Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) data derived at city-wide level • Maintained records of project / programme…
