The “Impact” parish carbon footprinting tool is now live! The Impact tool was developed by the Centre for Sustainable Energy and the University of Exeter, with help from Parish Councils from across England. The work was funded through the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, via the Midlands Energy Hub, CSE's charitable reserve, and the UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund.
Waters journey from source to tap and back again requires energy and so every drop we use carries an inherent carbon cost for water’s carbon footprint. For each cubic meter of water this is averaged to be 0.708 kg CO2e for treatment and 0.344 kg CO2e for supply. This equates to the same as 6miles driving a small diesel car or 4kWh of electricity.
