…. The changes required nationally are largely reflected in the local picture and fall into a number of broad categories: a. National grid decarbonisation b. Demand reduction (energy efficiency measures & behaviour change) c. Switch to electric heating d. Switch to zero emission transport e. Carbon offsetting through renewable energy generation f. Carbon offsetting through sequestration 9. Figures 3…
…, this transformation must take place. 22.However, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, even with the implementation of all interventions, it is anticipated that there will still be a need to offset any remaining emissions in order to achieve net-zero. For the Council, this would mean investigating the opportunities to offset either through increasing sequestration (e.g. via the planting and management of new woodland…
