… that a solar PV system (solar farm) with a generation capacity of approximately 5MW generating 4,800,000kWh of electricity that feeds directly into the electricity grid would offset 710 CO2e if installed by 2030. Such a project would have a capital cost of approximately £3,000,000. The installation of 5MW of solar PV would leave approximately 46 tonnes of unavoidable emissions that will need…
… Leader of the Council INTRODUCTION In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a report which advised that we must limit global warming to 1.5°C, as opposed to the previous target of 2°C. Their review of over 6,000 sources of evidence found that, with a rise of 1.5°C, there would be risks to health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, human security and economic…
… and balanced with the Council’s other statutory responsibilities. That the “Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees” published by the intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change in October 2018. Describes the enormous harm that a 2 degree C average rise in global temperatures is likely to cause compared with a 1 degree rise, confirms that limiting Global Warming to 1.5 degrees may…
… to be offset. The Woodland Trust states that it costs £25 to offset 1 tonne of CO2 in British woodlands which would result in a cost of £1,152 to offset the remaining emissions. The Council recognises the need to explore solar PV or similar alternatives as a means of offsetting and will not commit to a particular method until further feasibility work has been undertaken. Carbon offsetting…
