What does this mean for AnyPlace in 2020?Meeting carbon budgets in 2020 will require a reduction in average

per person emissions from the current level of 9 tCO2 to 6 tCO2.

In a County where carbon budgets are achieved, the typical person will:

• Meet more of their energy needs from low-carbon power.

• Live in well-insulated homes with new efficient boilers and advanced

heating controls.

• Purchase energy-efficient appliances and use these on low-carbon cycles

(e.g. low temperature washing and dishwashing).

• Work in energy-efficient offices with power and heating from low carbon

sources.

• Drive more carbon-efficient cars, including hybrids, electric cars or plug-in

hybrids with charging infrastructure at home, at work and in public places.

• Drive in an eco-friendly manner (e.g. not carrying excess weight in the car)

and within the existing speed limit.

• Plan journeys better and use public transport more.

Together these changes would be sufficient to achieve carbon budgets.

They could significantly improve energy security of supply and air quality,

and therefore maintain or improve quality of life.

‘We have a vision of a different Britain. It is a vision of a Britain in which our cars run on electricity; high speed trains whisk us from North to South in less time than it takes to get across greater London; we produce much more but use much less energy to do it; our power suppliers no longer depend to any great extent on imported oil and gas; our homes require less energy, produce far more of their own energy and are heated by gas we produce from our own agricultural and domestic waste. It is a vision of a Britain which leads the world in new green technologies. Secured against interruptions of supply and volatile prices, our industry can plan for growth. Our national security is guaranteed, regardless of decisions by volatile governments elsewhere to close pipelines or restrict supply. It is a decentralised vision rather than one in which all decisions about our energy future are vested in the government. Through it we play our full part in protecting our planet against the effects of man-made climate change.’

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

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

Biomass Uptake of Barnsley,

the Leadership of

Woking………

Keep _____________ Warm!

Eradicate ‘Fuel Poverty’ in _____________ by 2015 via an ambitious Partnership Approach

No additional resources required…… Maximise Warmfront, CERT, Community Energy Saving Programme etc.

Ensure that the Locality is getting the best support from the organisations/ programmes ‘free at the point of use’

You Choose!

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance

to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and

creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance

of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that

the moment one definitely commits oneself, then

Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help

one that would never otherwise have occurred. A

whole stream of events issues from the decision,

raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen

incidents and meetings and material assistance, which

no man could have dreamed would have come his

way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do,

begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Begin it now." W.H. Murray
