Context:Our third report on progress towards carbon budgets
First application of indicator framework:• Large emissions fall due to recession• Indicators roughly as expected• New policies needed to drive the step change
A framework of indicators consistent with budgets:• Emissions trajectories• Indicators for implementation of abatement measures• Forward indicators of investments in the project cycle• Policy milestones
The need for a step change
Aims: • Report latest data• Assess underlying progress• Monitor against indicators
First (2009)
Then (2010)
Now (2011)

Today’s report - Key messages
• Underlying trend was flat – not enough to meet future carbon budgets
• Performance against indicators has been mixed – step change still needed
• Electricity Market Reform and Green Deal key to driving emissions down
• Economy-wide emissions increased 3% – due to cold weather
• Can, and should, outperform first three budgets

CO2 emissions rose relatively sharply
10
With biggest rises from energy used to heat buildings
(% change 2009-2010)
Note: ‘Other’ category includes agriculture CO2 and emissions from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF)
11
The recession caused a downward shift in emissions but no evidence of a change in the underlying pace of emissions reductions
11
In context of faster GDP growth than in
2010

Non-traded sector emissions are well below the budget level, and even further in weather-adjusted terms

Non-traded sector emissions v. budget
14
However continuing progress at the 2010 rate would not be enough to meet future budgets

Successfully implementing abatement measures would lead to an outperformance of currently legislated budgets

Traded sector emissions rose, but remain below the cap for both UK and EU
UK level
UK becomes net seller in EU ETS / banks permits for future periods
EU level
Less CDM required at EU level to meet EU ETS cap
20
Carbon prices and projections have therefore remained low
Traded sector emissions remain low
Limited progress at Cancun
Carbon price has remained low(c. €16/tCO2)
Risk carbon price remains low in future
Undermines incentives for low-carbon investment
UK carbon price floor is appropriate:• £30/t in 2020• £70/t in 2030

22
Slight rise in power emissions driven by short-term factors
22
1% increase in demand, may have
fallen up to 2% without weather
1% increase in intensity, driven by
nuclear outages
23
Underlying achievable emissions intensity fell
23
24
Additions of wind capacity broadly on track, with acceleration required in mid-2010s
24
Capacity in or awaiting construction covers build to 2015• Onshore: 2.0 + 3.3 GW (4.5 GW needed)• Offshore: 3.1 + 0.9 GW (3.8 GW needed)
Plus significant capacity in planning• Onshore: 8.4 GW• Offshore: 2.5 GW
Approvals neededNo offshore approvals in 2010

25
Progress demonstrating CCS has been mixed
25
£1 billion allocated for first demonstration project
Seven applications for EU funding
Gas CCS included in second competition
But...
First project not yet signed
Schedule for second set of projects unclear and already delayed
Award the first project this year
Commence bidding and clarify funding for second set
Select winning bidders in 2012
Major potential role for CCS in 2020s decarbonisation
26
Key priorities for Electricity Market Reform
E.g. Contracts for Difference• More certain return than premium FITs• Breaks link with rising carbon prices
E.g. Reserve contracts for less mature technologies with promising long-term potential
Long-term Contracts
Technology support
Clear objectives
Smooth transition E.g. Consider extending ROC beyond 2017, design arrangements suitable for renewables
E.g. 50 gCO2/kWh

28
Buildings emissions rose due to the cold weather and increased carbon intensity of electricity
29
Need to accelerate implementation of insulation and renewable heat measures
Loft insulation
Cavity wall insulation
Solid wall insulation
Renewable heat*
* Data not yet available for 2010
30
Success will require strong incentives and removal of barriers: Green Deal and ECO
30
Proposals provide good basis • Green Deal funds upfront costs of energy efficiency secured against property charge• Energy Company Obligation (ECO) targets fuel poor and more expensive measures (e.g. solid
wall insulation)
But some detail lacking and further strengthening may be required• Risk of under delivery
• commit to insulating all lofts and cavity walls by 2015• align ECO with ambition to insulate 2m solid walls by 2020
• Cost implications • Consider use of cheaper mortgage finance
Percentage of housing stock by mortgage loan-to-value ratio
Loan-to-value ≤20% ≤40% ≤65%
% of stock 8% 22% 45%
31
Industry emissions rose slightly during the recovery

Available data points to a fall in surface transport emissions
Cars - km
Cars – emissions intensity
Cars - emissions
Emissions data for 2010 not yet available but...
Vehicle-kms down
34
New car CO2 emissions are well ahead of our indicator trajectory
34
Will fall sustain without high prices, recession and scrappage policy?

35
Very limited progress in other transport indicators
35
Electric vehicles
• Electric car registrations in 2010 mostly limited to pilot schemes
• Full electric cars only reaching dealers in 2010
• Plug -In Car Grant confirmed in 2010 Spending Review• £5,000 incentive available since Jan 2011
• Infrastructure investment at Plugged-In Places pilots confirmed; nationwide strategy to promote infrastructure due June 2011
Indicator Outturn5,000 167
Behavioural measures
Eco-driving Very low levels of eco-driving training in 2010
Smarter Choices Need to allocate and extend funding (e.g. Local Sustainable Transport Fund)
Speed limiting Violation of speed limits on motorways increased in 2009
Land-use / transport planning Framework under review – need to fully account for transport emissions

37
Agriculture emissions continue to decline steadily
Priorities remain improvements in the
evidence base and robust policy to drive abatement
measures
Decline in production partly offset by increased N2O intensity
Livestock production down in line with meat consumption

Recap of key messages
• Underlying trend was flat – not enough to meet future carbon budgets
• Performance against indicators has been mixed – step change still needed
• Electricity Market Reform and Green Deal key to driving emissions down
• Economy-wide emissions increased 3% - due to cold weather
• Can, and should, outperform first three budgets
