Low Carbon Hierarchy - the route to a low carbon, climate friendly economy. SW EEMG members and others may wish to use this image for their own promotional work (right click on image and save to your PC):-  The most cost-effective solution for reducing your carbon footprint is to: 1. REDUCE energy use by avoiding unnecessary use and implementing energy efficiency measures. You should include the design of your goods and services and also look up and down your supply chain. Once you have increased your efficiency you should then look to 2. REPLACE fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and/or use cleaner fossil fuel technology such as Combined Heat and Power (CHP) where it is feasible to do so. Finally, having reduced your carbon emissions through avoiding waste, energy efficiency and use of renewable cleaner sources, you can 3. NEUTRALISE the remaining unavoidable emissions through carbon offsetting schemes. Phil Harding, GOSW UK Energy Policy. SW EEMG members wishing to know the latest position on UK energy policy can see key information including links to appropriate documents and reports from HM Government on the Low Carbon South West web page (on www.oursouthwest.com).
