Carbon Neutral Council Plan 2022- 2024
Current baseline and business as usual
The Anthesis study on the council's pathways to carbon neutral by 2030 showed that, based on projects that we have in the pipeline, we would be able to reduce the council's emissions by 47%, by 2030. The study recommends that we initiate additional measures ('stretch' interventions) to get closer to carbon neutral, taking us to a 95% reduction on 2020 levels.

To achieve our 2030 target, the council will need to continue to reduce energy demand, as well as using alternatives to fossil fuels.
