• 2020/2021 - this Carbon Footprint report produced by the Centre for Energy and the Environment at the University of Exeter also sets out opportunities, actions, and targets required to reduce carbon emissions across all Council operations. It is from the opportunities presented in this report that the Carbon Reduction Plan was created.

Offset carbon (tCO2e)	-468	-333	-423	-365
Scope 3 (tCO2e)	15094	18545	21698	19559
Scope 2 (tCO2e)	5757	5295	4537	4396

Figures have been revised for 20/21 to reflect more accurate calculation methods for procurement based emissions.  In addition, we have moved from ERG emission factors to UK Carbon Footprint factors, which are newer and separated construction emissions, allocating them either to non-residential or social housing.”
