Greenhouse Gas Protocol

In 2010 the Department of Environment & Climate Change (DECC) requested that each local authority publish its total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) report.

The table below is a summary of our data over the last three financial years. We are pleased to demonstrate that our tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) figure has reduced by 2,607 tonnes (13%). A summary of the figures in shown in the graph below, and a more detailed explanation can be found in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol report.
