Dear Councillors

	OFFSETTING CARBON CREDITS BEFORE 2023 $ 12.70 AFTER $ 40-80 PER METRIC TONNE

Further to our last email about "Carbon Colonialism" this email reviews Brisbane Council as
one of the largest Councils in Australia and its documented efforts to reduce Carbon Emissions 
and offset 3.9 million tCO2-e Carbon Emissions 2016-2021

According to Georgette Kilgore on 06 Mar 2023 8Billion Trees.com the 2023 price of Carbon 
Credit ranges from Au$40 - $80 per metric tonne whereas in 2021 the price was $12.70 
per metric tonne!

It appears that between 2016-2021 Brisbane Council has spent $ 12.70 x 3.900,000 = $ 49,530,000

However in future the cost is going to be considerably more according to that article

"What Led To the Increase in the Carbon Credit Price Per Ton 2020?

The increase in carbon credit price per ton 2020 resulted from increased demand for carbon credits. 

In 2020, there was an increased demand because of the United Nations' Paris Agreement, which set 
goals around reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

However, it appears that the questions that have not been asked or answered about Brisbane Council 
or any Council for that matter to become Carbon Neutral include: 

A	Set-up Administration costs - How much has it costs rate-payers/tax-payers to measure the 
	Councils annual Carbon Gas emissions since 2003 ?

B	Energy Efficient Lighting - The cost of replacing 25,000 street lamps ie cost of new LEDs and 
	Council employee costs

C	Solar Panel Installations - The costs of the Solar Panels and their installation and 
	maintenance costs to generate 2.3 Megawatts of solar power

D	Purchasing Renewable Energy - The cost of purchasing 1,070,000MWh renewable energy 
	since 2003

E	Impact of Public Transport - The costs of the replacement buses and software development

F	Low Emissions Fleet - The Council has a fleet of 1300 vehicles and has had electric vehicles 
	since 2002 (over 20 years ago).  

	It currently has 21 Battery Electric Vehicles and 41 Hybrid Vehicles which it plans to expand 
	to 30 and 55 in the following year.  What about the other 1215 vehicles ?

	How much has it cost to purchase those 62 EV vehicles in the last 20 years and how much will 
	it cost to replace the other 1215 vehicles over what period of time ?

G	Emissions from Waste Disposal - by what methods and how much does it cost to capture the 
	Carbon Dioxide gases produced by the Open and Closed landfills ?

H	Carbon Offsetting - Between Jul 2007 - Jun 2016 Brisbane Council offset almost 1,000,000 
	tonnes of CO2-e  How much has that offset cost ?

Since 2016-2021 Brisbane Council has offset more than 3.9 million tCO2-e. - how much 
has that cost the Council and how is that presented in the Annual Accounts ?

Carbon Neutral Council

Brisbane City Council is committed to a clean, green and sustainable Brisbane.

Council maintains its carbon neutral status in line with the Australian Government's Climate 
Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Organisations and is certified carbon neutral under the 
Climate Active program.

This certification is recognition of Council's efforts to achieve zero greenhouse gas 
emissions. To achieve and maintain this Council:

	1	measures our greenhouse gas emissions from all sources including the Rochedale 
		landfill, electricity use in buildings and street lights and fuel use in Council buses and 
		ferries

	2	takes steps to reduce our carbon footprint where possible, such as through landfill gas 
		capture and combustion, energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives

	3	purchases and cancels eligible carbon offsets to cancel out all remaining emissions

	4	publishes an annual Carbon Neutral Public Disclosure Statement.

Our carbon footprint

Council's carbon footprint for 2020-21 (the latest year for which data is available) was 
520,075 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2-e).

The three largest emissions sources - fuel use, landfill and construction - currently account 
for 62% of the total carbon footprint. 

The remaining 38% is made up of emissions from indirect supply chain sources, such as 
paper use, business travel and energy use by Council contractors and lessees. 

Council buildings and facilities and controlled streetlights were 100% powered by renewable 
energy in 2020-21, reducing electricity-related emissions to zero.

Council is the only carbon-neutral certified organisation in Australia with an operating 
landfill and large public transport service.

Emission reduction actions

In 2020-21, Council's operational carbon footprint reduced significantly, mainly due to the 
introduction of nationally consistent accounting methodologies under the Climate Active 
Carbon Neutral Program.

In 2019-20, Council's footprint was estimated to have reduced by 7% over the four years 
since achieving carbon neutral status in 2016-17. 

This reduction is largely due to increased gas capture at the city's landfill at Rochedale and 
increased use of renewable energy.

Council is continually taking action to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions as part of its 
carbon neutral commitment.

The following actions are some of the ways Council is working to reduce its greenhouse gas 
emissions.

	A	Energy-efficient lighting
	B	Solar power installations
	C	Purchasing renewable energy
	D	Reducing the impact of public transport
	E	Council's low emissions fleet
	F	Actively managing emissions from waste disposal
	G	Carbon offsetting by Council

A	Energy-efficient lighting

To reduce electricity consumption, Council is upgrading and replacing lighting in its 
buildings and facilities, the city's streets and other public places with more energy efficient 
lamps.

More than 25,000 streetlights have been upgraded to date and all new and replacement lamps 
in street and other public lighting are to be LEDs, wherever possible.

The city's traffic signals have also gradually been replaced with LEDs and facilities including 
the Story Bridge, Brisbane Riverstage and a number of workshops and depots have been 
upgraded.

Lighting upgrades and replacements implemented since achieving carbon neutral status in 
2016-17 are estimated to reduce Council's carbon footprint by around 2255 tCO2-e per 
annum.

B	Solar power installations

On-site solar power systems allow Council to make use of available roof space to generate 
renewable energy that typically meets 20-30% of the site's electricity needs and generally 
pay for themselves in four to 10 years, depending on the location.

As of June 2021, more than 2.3 megawatts of solar panels had been installed at Council sites.

By implementing this technology, Council is producing around 3600 megawatt-hours (MWh) 
of electricity annually which is equivalent to the energy required to power 660 Brisbane 
homes for a year.

Council's solar power systems are estimated to reduce operational carbon emissions by 
around 1.3 tCO2-e annually for every kilowatt installed.

C	Purchasing renewable energy

Council is using its purchasing power to support the Australian renewable energy industry 
and further negate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with our electricity use.

Council purchased around 50,200 MWh of renewable electricity in 2020-21, reducing the 
carbon emissions associated with electricity usage by more than 53,700 tCO2-e.

Overall, Council has purchased more than 1,070,000 MWh of renewable energy since it first 
started purchasing GreenPower for City Hall in 2003.

D	Reducing the impact of public transport

Council has continued to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions through the incorporation of 
innovative technology in its public transport fleet. 

Over the last 15 years, the bus fleet emissions performance has evolved, with our first 
purchase of enhanced environmentally-friendly vehicle (EEV) compressed natural gas buses 
in 2005, through to the most recent Euro VI diesel engine buses purchased in 2021. 

Additionally, a Volvo B5 diesel-electric hybrid bus has provided services for Brisbane since 
2015. As a result, over 94% of the Council bus fleet currently exceeds Australian minimum 
emission standards.

Council has also modified on-board software settings of over 500 buses to reduce emissions. 

The modifications include: 

1	adapted gear selection profiles which better meet terrain conditions
2	automated five-minute idle shutdown
3	reconfigured transmission kick-down function. 

A program has also been piloted to integrate eco-driving techniques and technologies to alert 
drivers of uneconomical and inefficient driving practices.

As part of Council's commitment to a clean, green and sustainable city, four battery electric 
buses are now being trialled on the City Loop, for 12 months through to June 2022. 

It is expected the successful completion of this trial will support strategies for future 
procurement of zero tailpipe emission buses. 

Additionally, while public transport services are a large source of emissions for Council, each 
full bus equates to taking 40 cars off the road. 

This substantially reduces city-wide emissions and congestion, while providing mobility 
options to all members of the community.

E	Council's low emissions fleet

Council aims to improve air quality with every vehicle purchase by seeking lower emission 
vehicles, vehicles with alternate fuel sources and exploring innovative solutions to the 
vehicles we use to provide services to the community.

Council has had electric vehicles in the fleet since 2002. 

Our focus is on assessing all truck and car purchases for potential to reduce carbon emissions 
and achieve value for money.

In our fleet of over 1300 vehicles, we currently have 21 battery electric vehicles (20 cars and 
one truck) and 41 hybrid electric vehicles (36 cars and 5 trucks). 

In 2021-22, Council plans to increase battery and hybrid electric vehicle numbers to 30 and 
55 respectively. 

Annual assessments help guide the overall transition of the fleet.

F	Actively managing emissions from waste disposal

Council has a long-term commitment to reducing emissions from landfill.

Every year, more than half of the gas produced at Council's operating landfill at Rochedale,
as well as five closed landfills is captured and either used to generate electricity or flared to 
destroy the methane component. 

More than 450,000 tCO2-e emissions were avoided through landfill gas capture and 
combustion in 2020-21.

Emissions at the Rochedale landfill are also reduced through Council's green waste recycling 
service and community composting hubs which divert garden and food waste for alternative 
treatment and use as compost.

Since 2010, the green waste service has diverted more than 214,000 tonnes of garden waste, 
while the community composting hubs diverted around 1500 tonnes of food waste from 
landfill in 2020-21.

G	Carbon offsetting by Council

Carbon offsetting is a way for organisations to cancel out carbon emissions they are not able 
to completely eliminate by investing in projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gases from 
the atmosphere. 

It is an internationally recognised way for organisations to manage the carbon emissions that 
cannot be eliminated entirely and become carbon neutral.

Council purchases independently verified carbon offsets to negate the residual emissions 
from its operations, after emissions reduction initiatives have been taken into account.

Between July 2007 and June 2016 Council offset almost one million tonnes of carbon 
emissions from its fuel use and business travel. 

From 2016-17, Council has offset all of its carbon emissions to ensure it maintains a net zero 
carbon footprint, bringing total emissions offset to more than 3.9 million tCO2-e.

All offsets purchased by Council must be eligible under the Australian Government's Climate 
Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Organisations.

Council purchases a mix of Australian and international offsets. 

Some examples of offset projects Council has purchased from include:

1	early season savanna burning projects in north Queensland and the Northern Territory

2	biomass, wind and solar energy projects close to Council's sister cities in India and 
	China.

	HAS YOUR COUNCIL INCLUDED "BLOCKCHAIN" AS PART OF COUNCIL'S 2020-2030 PLANS ?

Members of the OIC Sustainability Action Network [SAN] thought it may be helpful to
research the impact of Climate Change issues and Carbon Credits in overseas countries

It is interesting to note that on 02 Nov 2022 the Australian Legal firm Gilbert & Tobin 
published an article "Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Regulation 2023 about how Australia's 
approach to Blockchain and Cryptocurrency has, in part, been driven by the Commonwealth 
Government of Australia's (Government) overall approach to the financial technology 
(fintech) sector and its broad support for new and innovative financial services and products"

Over the Christmas and New Year break, OIC members reviewed the 17 Expert Articles and the
31 Countries Legal submissions on the apparent impact of "Blockchain" on those Countries legal 
systems

You may be interesting in reviewing these articles on behalf of your Council as it appears that 
"Blockchain will be implemented in full by 2026"
