… in order to achieve the outcomes. This is a living plan, will evolve as needed and progress will be reported on an annual basis. Zero net carbon (also referred to as carbon neutral) means that the activity balances it’s energy use with its renewable energy generation, or carbon sequestration, and emits no ‘net’ carbon. This may be through 100% reduction of carbon using efficiencies…

… more to run, and contribute to fuel poverty. A retro-fit programme would help to eliminate fuel poverty. Swale’s homes also need to switch from gas central heating, which is a major source of greenhouse gases, to highly efficient low- carbon heating (such as heat pumps). The government provides grants for installing low carbon heating, through the Renewable Heat Incentive. The UK needs to fit…
