Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report
Bradford Council delivers a wide range of services to over half a million citizens. In order to deliver effective services the Council requires a large quantity of fuel and energy. For the most part it is the quantity of fuel and electricity that determines the size of the Council's carbon footprint. The Council is committed to tackling climate change by reducing its overall emissions and is participating in the UK Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) scheme. Each year the Council makes greenhouse gas emissions data from its own operations publicly available.

*The 2019/20 report includes data for corporate and schools excluding academies. Number of schools reported are less as compared to previous years.
**The 2020/21 report excluded schools data from reporting. A lot of schools have converted to academies and manage their own utilities. The number of schools under Bradford Council contract for utilities reduce every year which in turn has an effects on our GHG figures. In order to monitor Bradford Council's only progress schools data has also been removed from previous reported years on this report.
