The council-approved target for reducing GHG emissions outlined in the CEP requires a reduction in yearly emissions of 760,000 tonnes of C02. Implementing actions outlined above would result in a reduction of 540,000 tonnes of C02. This reduction represents 71% progress towards CEP goals. There remains a 220,000 tonne shortfall between the CEPs council-approved target and mitigation actions outlined above. Future growth could increase this gap significantly if a development’s emissions profile does not align with emission reduction targets.
Actions outlined above and the affect they have on yearly emissions is depicted in Figure 3 below.
