Why did we produce a Low Carbon Transition Plan?
What is in it?
How did we do it?

Why did we produce a low carbon transition plan?
EU legislation
UK legislation
•EU Energy and Climate package
•EU 20% target →UK 34% reduction on 1990 levels
•20% renewable energy by 2020 → UK 15%
•Climate Change Act 2008
•Five-year carbon budgets
•Publish policies to meet budgets
Single statement of climate and energy strategy
Comprehensible plan for business and the public

First ever legally binding carbon budgets
3 018 MtCO2
2 782 MtCO2
2 544 MtCO2
Carbon Budget 2(2013-2017)
Carbon Budget 3(2018-2022)
Carbon Budget 1(2008-2012)

Projected emissions including policies in the Transition plan
MtCO2e
The UK will also cut emissions by 80% by 2050

Why did we produce a Low Carbon Transition Plan?
What is in it?
How did we do it?
6
The UK Transition Plan sets out how these carbon budgets will be met
All sectors will contribute to emission savings
7
POWER and HEAVY INDUSTRY:The EU Emissions Trading System is at the heart of our strategy
3 objectives:
Pricing carbon1
Setting a cap Certainty on level of emissions 2
Trading allowancesPromote least cost abatement3
The EU ETS started in 2005
UKEU ETS sectors
UKnon-ETS sectors
• Electricity• Iron & steel• Pulp & paper• Industrial processes
EU-wide central cap declining by 1.74% per year
Ambitious targets21% below 2005 levels by 2005
8
POWER and HEAVY INDUSTRY:Beyond the EU ETS, other policies are required to meet targets
EU ETS
+
40% of UK’s electricity from low carbon sources in 2020
Renewable electricity Fossil fuel with CCS Nuclear
30% target by 2020 4 new CCS demonstrations
New nuclear power stations by 2018
9
TRANSPORT:Achieving 19% emission cuts in 2018-22
European flights part of EU ETS from 2012
Road transport
Increased energy efficiency and more electrification
Making engines more efficient Changing behaviourSupporting low carbon
vehicles
•New EU car emission standards• £30m for low carbon
buses
• £400m to encourage development• 10% of transport energy
from renewables
• £29m for the first ‘Sustainable Travel City’• £145 million for cycling
Rail
Aviation

HOMES AND COMMUNITIES:Achieving 13% emission cuts in 2018-22
Making homes greener
Carbon Emissions Reduction Target
• Legal obligation on energy suppliers• To date £1bn/yr invested
in households
Community Energy Saving Programme
• Low income communities• Implemented by energy
companies•Delivers whole-house
energy efficiency packages
Pilot ‘Pay As You Save’ Clean energy cash-bash, e.g. Feed-in Tariffs
• Financial support for low-carbon electricity, e.g. First 30,000 combined heat and power
• Removes up-front cost from 500 households• Repayments lower than
saving on bills• Scheme linked to property
Helping people to play their part
Rolling outsmart meters
Developing proactive services
11
HOMES AND COMMUNITIES: Helping to make these changes more affordable, especially for the most vulnerable
Impact of these policies = £76 on annual bills, i.e. 6% increase from current energy bills
Help for the most vulnerable households
• Price: creating mandated social price support
• Energy efficiency: Increasing level of grants to vulnerable households
• Income: Winter Fuel Payments and Cold Weather Payments
12
• UK low carbon economy could be worth £150bn and employ 1.2 million by 2015
• Up to 500,000 new jobs in UK renewable energy by 2020
delivering
WORKPLACES: Achieving 13% reduction on 2008 levels by 2020
Reduce emissions from workplaces by:
Promoting energy efficiency Providing adviceDriving emission reductions
• EU ETS in heavy industry• Climate Change Levy (CCL) and
Climate Change Agreements (CCA)• Loans to SMEs and public
sector for low carbon technologies
• Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC): -Targets large non-energy
intensive organisations-Cap and trade
• Carbon Trust provides advice to businesses
13
FARMING, LAND-USE and WASTE: Achieving 4% of emission savings in 2018-22
Driving down emissions by:
Research to improve measurement of on-farm emissions
FARMING LAND-USE WASTE
• Encouraging private funding for woodland creation
• Support for anaerobic digestion of farm waste
•More efficient use of fertiliser • Better management of
livestock and manure

How did we do it?

• A central team of 10-12 people
• Used existing expertise and work
• Coordination and new analysis to ensure all added up:
• Cross-Government: -Central team worked with all departments with an interest-Cross-Government branding
• In six months: late January to mid July 2009
