Carbon Management Team 2.18 This is a cross service group whose purpose is to set targets for carbon reduction and to identify projects which will achieve this. Projects are more wide ranging than those to which the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, as the latter is concerned only with metered energy supplies. 2.19 Projects can be quite innovative, such as the purchase of seven hybrid vehicles and the use of solar panels on both buildings and vehicles. 2.20 The Council collaborates with the Carbon Trust, particularly in relation to the veracity of claimed reductions. Reduced energy consumption has saved £2.2m since 2005/6. 2.21 There is a Carbon Management Project Register which provides a tool kit to assess the viability of projects, together with projected financial savings. 2.22 As well as projects to reduce emissions, the Carbon Management Team also raises awareness throughout the Council. The Carbon Awareness Strategy has been drafted by a sub-group of the Carbon Management Team. Following consultation, this Strategy will be presented to a future meeting of the Executive. Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme and Carbon Trading 2.23 The CRC - Energy Efficiency Scheme is a statutory obligation for organisations which consumed over 6MW hours of energy through half hourly read meters during 2008. North Ayrshire Council consumed 8,666 MW hours during 2008 and therefore qualifies as a full participant in the scheme. The Council’s Energy Team declares our energy use, sets reduction targets, forecasts carbon allowances and provides all necessary information for compliance. The Council is in the top third of all participating UK organisations with regard to meeting or exceeding its targets. A notable contribution to this was the attainment of the Carbon Saver Standard for schools. 198
2.24 From July 2012 carbon allowances will have to be purchased and surrendered and it will be possible to trade them on the secondary market. The CRC - energy efficiency scheme requires a tax to be paid for each tonne of carbon dioxide omitted by eligible sites, "carbon allowances" must be purchased and surrendered to the Environment Agency for our emissions between June 2012 and July 2012. The Energy Team has been working with Finance on selecting the best strategy for this and has participated in a “trial run” of predictions and trading. 2.25 The Council is currently being audited by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency with regard to its submissions. 3. Proposals 3.1 The Council will continue to pursue the actions described above and also take advantage of any forthcoming central funding or grants which may contribute towards these. 3.2 Proposals being considered for future developments are the use of biomass (wooden chips or pellets) as a heating fuel and the installation of geothermal heat pumps. Air-source heat pumps are being installed at the new Dreghorn Primary School. 3.3 Photovoltaics and solar thermal panels (for water heating) will be installed on the refurbished Bridgegate House and there is a current investigation into the installation of renewable technologies for the roof of Cunninghame House. 3.4 Utilisation of land for biomass fuel production and energy generation by wind or solar means and hydro-electric generation has been the subject of an initial investigation and will be further developed. 3.5 The Executive is invited to note (a) the range of energy related activities being undertaken by the Council's Energy Team; and (b) the Council's continued support for the actions relating to energy and carbon reduction. 4. Implications Financial Implications 4.1 There are no direct financial applications as all actions and proposals are funded from existing budgets. Energy savings inevitably generate financial savings. 199
