How to Achieve Net Zero Emissions

Net zero is achieved when your organisation’s residual emissions are balanced by greenhouse gas removals or offsets. Working towards net zero means focusing on deep decarbonisation of your business and value chain. When you have maximised your abatement, you use carbon offsets or removals to reach net zero.

Carbon Jargon: Net Zero Terminology Made Easy

A broad range of terminology is used to describe corporate goals and commitments when it comes to climate change. Some of these terms tend to be used interchangeably such as ‘carbon neutral’, ‘net zero’ and ‘climate neutral’.

We created this guide to shed light on the net zero terminology to assist organisations in setting meaningful climate targets

Transition to Net Zero: Local Government’s Role

The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s (DPIE) Sustainable Councils and Communities (SCC) Program works with resource constrained councils and Joint Organisations (JOs) across NSW. The SCC commissioned 100% Renewables in 2021 to develop this report, ‘Transition to Net Zero: Local Government Role In Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions to 2030 and 2050‘ to understand what role local government can play in meeting NSW’s emission reduction objectives.

Revolving Energy Fund (REF) Implementation Guide

As part of the Sustainable Councils and Communities and Sustainability Advantage programs, 100% Renewables was commissioned to develop a set of resources to assist councils to pitch, design, develop, implement and manage a successful Revolving Energy Fund (REF). This tool will estimate the total funding needed to finance projects based on their expected year of implementation and forecast how a portfolio of projects will perform

Tool

Revolving Energy Fund (REF) Excel Tool

The REF excel tool was developed and designed to model the cash flows of a Revolving Energy Fund, taking into consideration the following costs and benefits for each project:

Cost of the project to be funded by the REF
Estimated savings that will be generated from the project
Funding from the REF
The proportion of savings that will be returned to the REF
