Including 6 closely related terms such as public transport options, transport options, and road transport.
… solutions, whilst maximising energy efficiency and conservation measures. This includes helping to ensure the borough’s long term access to secure and affordable energy supplies through an increase in local energy generation.

… Data 3.16 The internationally adopted Greenhouse Gas Protocol provides a high level framework of three ‘scopes’ for categorising the sources of an area’s GHG emissions: Scope 1: direct emissions produced by sources in the area (eg road transport and gas heating); Scope 2: indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy used in the area (ie electricity); Scope 3…
…, but they do nevertheless serve to highlight the main sources of emissions for planning purposes. Figures are given in T CO2e (tonnes of CO2 equivalent per annum). 57.8% Residential Buildings (262,157) 26.5% Road Transport (120,303) 4.6% Institutional Buildings & Facilities (20,664) 3.6% Industrial Buildings & Facilities (16,346) 3.4% Waste Water (15,576) 3…
…. This will be overwhelmingly comprised of their gas heating and cooking requirements. The other main source, over one quarter of total emissions, is road transport, caused by combustion vehicles operating in our borough. The figure for waste is relatively low because this measure does not take into account the embedded Scope 3 consumption related emissions of the goods being disposed of (ie the CO2 produced…
… measures such as roof and wall insulation, and connecting properties to district heating systems; investing in alternatives to gas heating, such as ground source and air source heat pump technologies; and reducing car journeys by prioritising active and public transport, combined with electrification of the remaining vehicles. 3.20 Scope 2 emissions reflect the fact that nationally our…
