Bea Jefferson: Interventions to Cut Regional Carbon Emissions in Yorks & Humber

The Top Ten Interventions to Cut Regional Carbon Emissions Bea Jefferson Association of Regional Observatories Network Event 27 th January 2010

Objectives:
Establishing the baseline
Identifying interventions
Assessing interventions

Demand side carbon emissions – 53.3 million tonnes (2006)

Carbon Interventions Types of action Demand side Process efficiency Energy efficiency and conservation Lower demand Supply side Generation efficiency Low-carbon energy supply Low-carbon energy generation Sector specific interventions Enabling Policy and regulation Information/awareness Fiscal incentives Development Feasibility studies Skills and supply chains Project finance Planning support R&D Abatement Direct investment Deployment

Conclusions
A number of cost effective, viable interventions are available now that could reduce regional carbon emissions significantly
Regional observatories can play an important role in drawing together evidence in a way that is meaningful for policy makers
