… and - renewable energy opportunities Focus on: - - Fabric of the building - LED lighting - Rooftop solar - Street lighting Low carbon heating solutions Early action is critical to enable the Council to rapidly reduce its carbon emissions and meets its targets of 25% and 49% carbon reduction respectively by 2022 and 2025. Developing a programme of carbon reduction opportunities enables…
… 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…
… efficient sources of heating and lighting, encouraging behaviour change and looking for opportunities to add renewable sources of energy such as solar PV. Corporate Energy: This refers to the energy purchased by the Council for its operations. We will reduce energy usage and move to using ‘clean’ energy to meet our remaining energy needs. Governance and Procurement: We will expect all our…
… the last assessment reported total emissions of 6,046 tCO2e. In this period the Council took steps to improve energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy including installing solar PV on the tennis centre roof of the St John’s sports centre, lighting changes, and other building improvements. The reduction in carbon emissions associated with national electricity generation has made…
…) and leisure electricity (light grey). Chart 4.1 – TWBC emissions to 2050 under a “BAU” Scenario In the medium- and longer-term emissions associated with this level of use would reduce to just under 3,000 tonnes (tCO₂e) in 2030 and 2,675 tonnes (tCO₂e) in 2050. The forecast clearly demonstrates maintaining BAU is not an option. The reductions shown are largely due to forecasts around…
