Presentation Transcript
Interim Devon Carbon Plan How the Plan has been produced and the opportunities for the Built Environment.
1. Welcome Your Host Ian Hutchcroft Member of the Net-Zero Task Force, Energiesprong and Regen James Shorten Planner and Director, Geo Consultants Tim Jones Chairman, South West Business Council and Chair of the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Foundation Emily Reed Project Manager, Devon Climate Emergency Hannah Oliver Communications Lead, Devon Climate Emergency Speakers: Karime Hussan Chief Executive & Growth Director, Exeter City Council Nicola Corrigan Director, 361 Energy
Agenda 1. Welcome 2. Background to the Devon Climate Emergency 3. Introduction to the Interim Devon Carbon Plan 4. What needs to happen? 5. Keynote discussion 6. Question and Answer Session 7. Next Steps
2. The Devon Climate Emergency Creating a resilient net-zero carbon Devon where people and nature thrive Objectives: Partnership: Reduce carbon emissions to net-zero by 2050 at the latest Improve the resilience of Devon s environment Prepare communities for a warmer world
2. Devon Climate Emergency Project Structure: Devon Climate Declaration
3. The Interim Devon Carbon Plan Engagement A plan for everyone one in Devon Focuses on the strategic issues and it nests with plans at other levels
3. The Interim Devon Carbon Plan Date for Net-Zero Your Opinion The Plan describes what needs to be done to reach net-zero Provides a trajectory to meet net-zero by 2050 Indicates the costs, opportunities and co-benefits of 2050 Discusses the practical challenges of achieving net-zero ahead of the national timetable e.g. 2030 and 2040 Specific consultation question
3. The Interim Devon Carbon Plan Funding: Geography: The Plan makes clear that net-zero cannot be achieved within existing resources and policy. The current funding status of each action is described. Most need new resources. Significant opportunities for individuals to redirect purchasing power e.g. e-bikes. Devon s rural nature is a challenge and an opportunity. Some net-zero actions and behaviours will be easier in town and cities. Where actions apply to a specific type of area, this is described.
3. The Interim Devon Carbon Plan Co-Benefits of Net-Zero: Create a fairer, healthier, more resilient and more prosperous society Health and Wellbeing Warmer homes, more active lifestyles and healthier diets Prosperity New jobs and skills and retaining spending locally Environment Enhance and regenerate nature, reduce flood risk, improve water and air quality
4. What needs to happen? The Built Environment: Making our existing and future buildings net-zero, comfortable, healthy and affordable to run Buildings and amenity lighting in outdoor spaces produced 42% of Devon s GHG emissions in 2018, shared almost equally between residential and commercial/industrial buildings.
4. What needs to happen? 1. Retrofit existing houses Reducing heat and energy requirements Decarbonising heating systems Heat pumps, hydrogen, biomass and electric heaters Low carbon heat networks Whole-house retrofit Supply chains Incremental retrofit Advice
4. What needs to happen? 2. Retrofit non-domestic buildings Reducing heat and energy requirements Decarbonising heating systems Developing supply chains Behaviour change
4. What needs to happen? 3. New buildings to be net-zero as soon as possible Highly energy-efficient Reduced embodied carbon Low-carbon heat sources Behaviour change
4. What needs to happen? 4. Achieve energy savings in public and shared spaces in the built environment Rationalise lighting use Convert lighting to LED
4. What needs to happen? Key outcomes: Devon develops its reputation as a centre of excellence in low carbon buildings Energy efficiency in existing buildings is significantly improved People have the skills required to retrofit our buildings with new technology, the supply chain is benefiting We all change our behaviour to run our buildings energy-efficiently New homes are built to net-zero standards with green, tree-lined streets
4. What needs to happen? Key co-benefits of achieving net-zero buildings: Building retrofit will generate jobs and upskill people Reduced energy bills Reduced amenity lighting provides a greater opportunity to see the stars Health: Reduced negative impacts of cold homes, such as winter deaths, asthma and poor mental health and reduced costs to NHS. A significant reduction in fuel poverty
