The A Summary of the Vantage Model for Leicester Areas of Activity


• By 2025 Government plans to invest in renewable and nuclear technologies could deliver 50% of the cut in carbon needed to meet Leicester’s target

• But this would be a long way off the full potential

Greening the Grid


• Half of emissions• Emissions decreasing

Commercial Sector


Commercial & Large Public Organisations


• Leicester particularly suited to this measure

• Modelling predicts 18% of savings could come from CHP or 25MWe

• A five-fold increase from current planned action

Combined Heat and Power


• Link up Prison, University and LCC buildingsOn-line 2012 12,000 tonnes

• Greater potential with Bio-fuelled boilers

Combined Heat and Power


14% of savings could come from the domestic sector

This could be manifested as:•Nearly all homes with cavity wall and loft insulation•35% with solid wall insulation (11,000 homes)•30% with PV (7,500 homes)•45% with solar thermal (10,500 homes)•2000 with biomass boilers or ground-source heat

Transport


Model defined 10% of savings could come from transport measures

but lack of detail in model

However, robust experience of measures required from Transport Planning

Transport


Indirect Measures

What the model didn’t include……

• supply chains to reduce emissions• local & seasonal food & grow their own• manage waste in a way that reduces carbon• plant trees and manage green space in a way that

contributes to carbon storage


Adaptation


• supply chains to reduce emissions• local & seasonal food & grow their own• manage waste in a way that reduces carbon• plant trees and manage green space in a way that

contributes to carbon storage


Engagement and awareness


• awareness and understanding • involvement • action


The Journey

• Long term political support and target from 1990• EMAS Major Non Conformity• 1st 100 days of Mayoral authority• Vantage Point Modelling opportunity• Refine model in consultation with experts• Research best practice


Research and Refinement

• Beyond scope 3 emissions• Inclusion of adaptation• Partner engagement• Segment the long term target into interim

stages• Actions should match the rhetoric• Short
