… on substantially reducing emissions, before residual emissions being offset or compensated). Beyond 2030 we will aspire to be fully net zero, meaning that stricter criteria will apply to offsetting, which should be via carbon removal methods such as tree planting and ‘carbon capture and storage’ technologies, and for these to be sufficient we will have reduced emissions almost completely. We will scale…
…). Reducing energy consumption (energy) underpins other delivery themes such as avoiding trips (transport) and building net zero carbon homes (built environment). How we use land will impact all the themes - for renewable energy, tree planting, food or the built environment. As would perhaps be expected in a rural county, the largest carbon emitter and our first delivery theme is transport…

… by trees, soil or captured from factories by specialist technology. However, bearing in mind that nature absorbs carbon dioxide relatively slowly from the atmosphere and that technology to capture it is not yet available at scale, the easiest way to take action is to cut our emissions significantly. This also shifts our energy reliance from finite resources to long-term, sustainable sources…
