… in Appendix A. This Corporate Carbon Descent Plan brings together the results of the carbon audit and the extensive modelling work conducted by LASER and the CEAP panel. It includes some obvious measures (such as LED lighting and solar panels) but also sets out less obvious potential measures such as Power Purchase Agreements and investment in an out-of-borough solar farm. Importantly it includes…
… the power is supplied solely from renewable energy sources, cannot be traced and will still be a mix with fossil fuels. Currently, there are no defined regulations or conventions around green energy. However, the importance of purchasing true renewable energy, with traceability and additionality, (investment resulting in the construction of a new generation asset such as a solar array) remains…
… 7.3.1 – TWBC emissions under various scenarios to 2029 and up to 2050 Only the scenario with investment in a solar park (green line) 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. The yellow line incorporating PPA’s also generates more significant early impact from…
… to be resolved. The solar park investment scenario also breaks even before 2050 where the returns maybe more than in other scenarios. However, it does require significant upfront investment, (approx. £8M), which CEAP considered was not a potential realistic opportunity for the Council.
