Scaling up cuts in domestic

<Introduction to MEA>
Good Morning
We’re seeking to deliver
on the 3Ds:
Demand Reduction
Decarbonisation
Decentralisation

Scaling up cuts in domestic
carbon emissions
<WHY?>
‘We have an addiction to fossil fuels, and it’s not sustainable. The developed world gets 80% of its energy from fossil fuels; Britain, 90%. And this is unsustainable for three reasons. First, easily-accessible fossil fuels will at some point run out, so we’ll eventually have to get our energy from someplace else. Second, burning fossil fuels is having a measurable and very-probably dangerous effect on the climate. Avoiding dangerous climate change motivates an immediate change from our current use of fossil fuels. Third, even if we don’t care about climate change, a drastic reduction in Britain’s fossil fuel consumption would seem a wise move if we care about security of supply: continued rapid use of the oil and gas reserves will otherwise soon force fossil-addicted Britain to depend on imports from untrustworthy foreigners.’
Professor David MacKay FRS Chief Scientific Adviser
to DECC see www.withouthotair.com
‘The best scientific projections indicate
that we have very little time left -
indeed, less than one hundred months - in
which to alter our behaviour drastically.
Although I wish it were otherwise, I fear we have reached the point when if we do too little, too late to tackle this problem,
the consequences could be
catastrophic.’
Jeroen van der Veer, CEO Shell
28th January 2008
"Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."
Climate Change Act Targets
• 1990 baseline of CO2 emissions was approximately 590 million tons of CO2.
• An 80% reduction is based on the minimum reductions necessary to avoid causing catastrophic and permanent changes to the climate
• 80% of 590m tons = 118 million tonnes.
• The UK level of CO2 emissions (1.76 tonnes/capita cf. ~10 tonnes today) hasn’t been that low since…… when?
1950’s?
1920’s?
1900?
1850?

<It’s the delivery stupid!>
‘The public discussion of energy options tends to be intensely emotional, polarized, mistrustful, and destructive. Every option is strongly opposed: the public seem to be anti-wind, anti-coal, anti-waste-to-energy, anti-tidal-barrage, anti-fuel-duty, and anti-nuclear.’
David MacKay FRS
Anti compact fluorescent lighting, anti cavity wall insulation, anti condensing boilers…..
Questions
• Too much rhetoric & not enough action?
• Are organisations taking climate change seriously?
• Is lack of progress simply because no-one is ACCOUNTABLE
• How do we create more WILLFUL INDIVIDUALS and LEADERS?
• Do LSPs understand what the potential is?
Richard DaviesDirector
Scaling up cuts in domestic
carbon emissions<Blue Book: Energy Descent>
Sub Title
If you don’t know where
you are going you are
almost certain to end
up there.
Questions
• How many organisations, localities or LSPs have an understanding of the DESTINATION & ROUTE MAP?
• Who should be deciding on what options are most appropriate? Central Govt. / LSPs / Elected Members……
• Is this much too complex for ‘lay-people’?
Richard DaviesDirector
Scaling up cuts in domestic
carbon emissions<History & Existing Homes>
The Great ………. Refurb
In February 2009 Ed Milliband
announced that by 2050 all
British homes will be near
carbon zero. Is now the right
time for ???? to step forward &
seek to be the first place in the
UK to deliver this in existing
homes?
Planning for new Policy & Programmes
How can localities benefit from
what DECC are planning.
Community Energy Saving
Programme, Feed In Tariffs,
Heat & Energy Saving Strategy
Unfair Share: Maximise Uptake
Ensure that ???? know what Sustainable Energy &
Climate Change services
are available in their locality and then consume them or
promote the consumption of them.
The Art of the Possible……
Explore what has been
achieved within the system as it
is. Why can’t ???? replicate
examples of ‘Good Enough
Practice’. The Domestic Energy
Support of Kirklees, the
Biomass Uptake of Barnsley,
the Leadership of
Woking………

Questions
• 2016 is not very far away – should we be encouraging local architects, builders and developers to try out some of the technologies?
• How can we maximise the ‘Green Collar Jobs’ dimension of this ambition?
• Do any of you have examples of good practice?

Affordable Warmth
Eradicate ‘Fuel Poverty’
Maximise share of support e.g. Warmfront, CERT, Community Energy Saving Programme etc

reduce FUEL POVERTY?
• What is the role of an LSP?
• Who in the region is accountable for
FUEL POVERTY?
• How could we better spend the
existing resources?

“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood... Make big plans; aim high in hope and work.”Daniel Hudson Burnham 1846-1912
“Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.”David Ogilvy 1911-1999
“Leaving mobile phone chargers plugged in” is
often held up as an example of a behavioural
ecocrime, with people who switch their chargers
off being praised for “doing their bit.” The truth is
that a typical mobile phone charger consumes just
0.01 kWh per day. The amount of energy saved by
switching off the phone charger, 0.01 kWh, is
exactly the same as the energy used by driving an
average car for one second. I’m not saying that
you shouldn’t switch phone chargers off. But don’t
be duped by the mantra “every little helps.”
Obsessively switching off the phone-charger is like
bailing the Titanic with a teaspoon. Do switch it off,
but please be aware how tiny a gesture it is. David MacKay ‘Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air’ www.withouthotair.com
