Community emissions for 2021 not yet calculated
In 2018 council’s annual emissions were 50,000 tons and community annual emissions were 500,000
tons. Council’s carbon footprint for 20/21 is slightly higher than 2019/20. This is because the accounting
methods have changed and we are including more embedded emissions from purchased goods and
services. Community emissions for 2021 not yet calculated.
Methodology:
Council corporate emissions are calculated annually and community emissions are calculated every
three years.
Definitions:
“Emissions”: Greenhouse gasses produced as a result of human activities include carbon dioxide
(CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and specified kinds of hydro
fluorocarbons and perfluorocarbons. Greenhouse gas emissions are measured as kilotonnes of
carbon dioxide equivalence (CO2-e). This means that the amount of a greenhouse gas that is emitted
is measured as an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide which has a global warming potential of one.
