A detailed list of previous actions can be found in appendix A. 1.15 The Council’s carbon footprint was calculated and broken down in a variety of ways in order…
…. 2.15 The scenarios with the most impact are: - • Investment in a solar park reaches net zero without offsetting. In effect this is to be expected as the solar park creates a positive carbon impact, counteracting those emissions that have not yet abated. All other scenarios include offsetting from 2030. • Increased LED and ASHP roll out and investment in PEPPPA (yellow line) also…
