CLIMATE CHANGE

• Increasing global

temperatures resulting in changes to climate

• More extreme weather

patterns in Scotland and across the world

• Impacts on everything

from human infrastructure, crops and ecosystems

_________________________________________________________________

THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE FUND

• Supporting community groups tackling

climate change (grants up to 150k available for financial year 2015/2016)

• To date more than £59 million in CCF

funding has been awarded to 676 community group projects

• Projects reduce local carbon emissions,

helping to tackle climate change and lead to additional community benefits

_________________________________________________________________

THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE FUND Support from Keep Scotland Beautiful

• Dedicated Development Officer
• project ideas
• application
• project implementation
• Free workshops to increase community group

knowledge and capacity

• Event costs (e.g. catering)

What you need to deliver your project outcomes (within reason!)

_________________________________________________________________

CCF PROJECT CRITERIA

• 1. Community-led with the participants at

the heart of decision making

• Q. How and when do we engage with our

community?

• 2. Aim to achieve a realistic and

measureable carbon reduction in carbon emissions in your community

• Q. What do we measure and when?

_________________________________________________________________

MEASURING CARBON EMISSIONS

• Important for projects to establish a ‘baseline’
• f carbon emissions
• What will you be measuring and how often?
• Energy – e.g. useage in Kwh
• Food – e.g. weigh produce produced locally
• Waste – e.g. waste weight that would have gone to

landfill

• Transport – e.g miles travelled by different forms
• Input figures to CCF Conversion Factors

Spreadsheet to work out carbon emissions

Instructions on how to use: The tables below have been extracted from the 2012 DEFRA/DECC's GHG Business Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (Annex 1, 3 & 9) Data should be entered in Column B (use column C to check data is in correct unit) and this will give you the total GHG emissions in Column E Topic Amount Unit Conversion Factor Total GHGs (kg CO2e) Details Electricity from Grid kWh 0.58982 0 DEFRA 2012 Annex 3, table 3c - electricity emission factors for consumption, based on 2010 grid avera Gas (LNG as used in Grid) kWh 0.2775 0 DEFRA 2012 Annex 1, Table 1d, Net calorific value Heating Oil (kerosine/parrafin) litres 3.0714 0 DEFRA 2012 Annex 1, Table 1b, by unit volume Coal (domestic) tonnes 3258.2 0 DEFRA 2012 Annex 1, Table 1a, by unit mass Wood logs tonnes 77.38 0 DEFRA 2012 Annex 9, table 9c - lifecycle conversion factors for biomass all scopes 0.01895 Wood chips tonnes 61.41 0 DEFRA 2012 Annex 9, table 9c - lifecycle conversion factors for biomass all scopes 0.01579 Wood pellets tonnes 183.93 0 DEFRA 2012 Annex 9, table 9c - lifecycle conversion factors for biomass all scopes 0.03895 TOTALS These conversion factors will enable you to convert activity data (e.g. litres of fuel used, KWh of electricity used) into kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). The factors included below are a small selection of the factors most commonly used by CCF projects - for a more exhaustive list and for more details on how the factors have been calculated and how to use them you should go to the DEFRA/DECC website.
