ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING: How controls and LEDs can help

摘要

The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) recently published its annual report on the UK's progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting carbon budgets. The report shows that emissions have fallen by 38% below 1990 levels. However, the reductions have come almost exclusively from reducing emissions in the production of electricity. The CCC suggests that greater progress is needed in other sectors but that the policies are not in place to achieve this, meaning there is a projected gap of 100 MtCO2e (or 47% of the required reductions) between our current trajectory and where we need to be to meet the fifth carbon budget. They are now setting a target for the UK's emissions between 2028 and 2032 to be 57% below 1990 levels.
