The Carbon Reduction Commitment. The Who, What, Where, When, Why and How? Fran Bullock Carbon Reduction Officer Torbay Council 24 May 2017 1 Context • Who? • What? • Where? “Schools account for 2% of UK emissions” DCSF • When? 24 May 2017 2 Why? (1) Climate Change Global Temperature 1850 - 2008 Natural & man made forcing Consequence of anthropogenic CO2 Natural forcing ONLY 24 May 2017 3 Why? (1) Climate Change 0.8°C 0°C 1°C 2°C = threshold for ‘dangerous’ climate change 2°C 3°C 4°C 5°C 6 °C Failing crop yields in many developing regions Severe impact in Shale Food Entire regions experience major decline in crop yields Up to 60% increase in people at risk from hunger Yields in many developed regions decline Rising crop yields in high latitudes Small mountain glaciers disappear worldwide – threat to water supplies Water Coral reefs extensively and irreversibly damaged More than a billion people suffer water shortages many in Africa Sea Level Rise Glaciers +30% increase in runoff in Med and southern Africa Onset of collapse of Amazon Rainforest Coral Reefs Sea level rise threatens major world cities including London Amazon Large fraction of ecosystems unable to maintain current form Ecosystems Extreme Weather Rapid & Irreversible Climate Change 24 May 2017 Up to 50% of species face extinction Rise in intensity of storms, droughts, floods and heat waves Increase in hurricane intensity Hurricanes Increase in methane release, weakening of the THC Irreversible melting of Greenland Ice sheet Gulf Stream Risk of abrupt large scale shifts in climate system Greenland 4 Where are we going? 4°C +2°C 2°C …and some ‘dangerous’ climate change 24 May 2017 5 Why? (2) Saving Money Tonne CO2 1,860 kWh £250 24 May 2017 6 Why? (3) Carbon Trading • Carbon Reduction Commitment. • Starts Apr 2010. • The market place = large business and public sector organisations. • Fixed point emissions ONLY – not transport. • Torbay Council is a mandatory participant. “All state-funded schools will be included under the umbrella of their local authority” Hilary Benn 16th July 2008 24 May 2017 7 What is Carbon Trading? Principal Aim Use market forces (i.e. price) to reduce emissions at the lowest cost. 1. Placing a ‘cap’ (a limit) on the CO2 emissions Aim aof CRC market place. allowed from predefined 2. Auction off the allowable emissions (as Drive out creating a price for carbon. “allowances”) thereby cost-effective 3. The carbon price then provides the threshold energy efficiencies between implementing projects and buying allowances. Carbon Price Cap Auction Price Threshold £12 tCO2 Cost effective energy efficiency Abatement costs LESS Abatement costs MORE Implement Projects Buy Allowances 24 May 2017 Higher cost renewable technology 8 Torbay’s Qualifying Carbon Footprint Torbay's CO2 emissions 17,900 tCO2 Corporate property 34% Torbay schools 48% Street lighting 18% 24 May 2017 9 “Reasonable Assistance” Duty on Schools This means that schools have a statutory duty to provide reasonable assistance and gather all data which relates to their energy use and provide this each year to their Local Authority. Taken from a leaflet produce by the London Energy Project. • Monthly meter reading • To avoid 10% uplift for using estimated readings. • Automatic meter reading (AMR) • Install AMR where it is cost-effective. • CRC Evidence Pack • Collect all the necessary information on energy consumption for audit purposes. 24 May 2017 10 “How? A Carbon Journey Carbon Neutral Offset emissions Carbon Managed Renewables Carbon Controlled Energy efficiency Reduce demand (energy conservation) Carbon Known Carbon Aware 24 Carbon May 2017 Unknown Measure consumption/emissions The Energy Hierarchy Raise awareness/communicate 11 Introductory Phase - Cost • The Authority is the legal entity with financial responsibility for participating in the CRC. • Schools will be part of the LA portfolio. • It is required to • calculate emissions, • purchase allowances and • receive recycling payments. @ £12 per tCO2 £214,800 (schools’ element approx £100k) 24 May 2017 12 The MAC Curve RE £50/tCO2 EC EE 24 May 2017 13 The risks In year one the risk will be +/- 10% depending on our position in the league table. In year two the risk will be +/- 20%, year 3, 30% and so on… The risk will increase over time, and when the cost of Carbon increases. 24 May 2017 14 Your role in all of this… 1. Request an Annual Statement from Electricity Suppliers for the calendar year 2008 – NOW. 2. Start recording energy use and collating an evidence pack – FROM April 2010. 3. Request Annual Statements from all energy suppliers covering 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011 – BEFORE 28 February 2011 4. Provide evidence pack to your Local Authority – BEFORE 30 June 2011 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 each year 24 May 2017 6. Start saving energy – NOW. 15 How you can be helped… Automatic meter reading – this will enable the Council’s energy team to carry out much of the work required by the CRC. It will eliminate estimates, identify areas of high consumption, identify any sudden changes in consumption, reducing waste and be used as an educational tool. Use Salix funding to invest in energy saving technologies – to save energy and reduce carbon emissions. Assign a member of staff to help drive things forward. Sign up to Eco schools for ideas and inspiration. 24 May 2017 16 AMR - the costs. • • • • AMR electricity £135 per year. AMR gas £167 per year. No initial costs. Free for the first year. Carbon Trust say AMR can identify 12% carbon savings and implement an average of 5% carbon savings. • This will vary from school to school as to whether the savings will out-way the costs. 24 May 2017 17 AMR / Smart metering. • Typical AMR data… 24 May 2017 18 Contacts • From your Local Authority • Energy Management Team • Andrew Pedrick 01803 208966 • Fran Bullock 01803 208988 • http://www.torbay.gov.uk/energy-saving-fund.doc • www.torbay.gov.uk/sustainableschools • The Carbon Trust - www.carbontrust.co.uk • ECO-schools – www.eco-schools.org.uk • Sustainable Schools – www.sustainablelearning.info 24 May 2017 19 Questions 24 May 2017 20
