Monthly values areexpressed inparts per million (ppm) andreported in the 1999SIO manometricmole
fraction scale. The monthly values have beenadjusted to the 15thof eachmonth.Missing values are
denoted by-99.99.The "annual"averageis thearithmetic mean of the twelve monthly values. Inyears
withone ortwo missing monthlyvalues,annualvalueswere calculated by substituting afit value
(4-harmonics withgain factor and spline) forthat month andthen averaging the twelve monthlyvalues.

Assumptions: 20% renewable generation by 2020, Demand stabilizes at 420 TWH in 7 years Electricity Scenarios for UK and implications on CO2 emissions.20 year growth in demand1.8-2% per annum2.2% in 2003
Can we Fuel the People using Sustainable Technology?The Government ResponseLegislative Barriers
Government ResponseEnergy White Paper aspiration for 60% cut in CO2 emissions by 2050Will require unprecedented partnership activity in local communities to ensure on track by 2020s ( but no indication of how this will be undertaken)
There will be much more local generation, in part from medium to small local/community power plant, fuelled by locally grown biomass, from locally generated waste, and from local wind sources. These will feed local distributed networks, which can sell excess capacity into the grid.- Energy White Paper: February 2003
UK Renewables Obligation > 10.4% by 2010in 2003 - 2004 -----4.3%, but in practice barely 3%Announced on 11th March 2004 - 3.139 p per kWh Revision of Building Regulations brought forwardEU Biofuels Directive for Transport2005 (2%) >>> 5.75% in 2010 Carbon Emission Trading - National Allocation Plans to be in place by 31st March 2004.
Legislative Barriers to SustainabilityCarbon Emission Trading - UK National Allocation PlanSeveral Serious FlawsDoes not reward Early ActionBased purely on Historical EmissionsShould be based (at least in part) on Technology employedFails to address issue of improved Load Factors of CHP where these are subsequently associated with adsorption chillingDoes not reward efforts towards energy conservation in past. Restrictions on Grants (Heat Recovery Heat Pumps)up to 80% of heat energy can be needed for ventilationexcluded from grants unless incorporated in a ground loop recovery system.
