Carbon Offset Contributions Received by the Council

I am requesting information relating to carbon offset contributions received by the Council and the allocation of those funds to decarbonisation or environmental projects.

Please provide the following:

1.) The total amount of carbon offset contributions received by the Council for each fiscal year from 2022 to the present day.

Please note that the above table relates to the number of offsets Devon County Council (DCC) has bought and deployed in its carbon account since 2022, which is zero. However DCC has bought pending issuance units which it will use from 2030 onwards, and they have been included in the table above.

2.) A breakdown of how the total offset funds were allocated, including:
– The amount of funds directed to each individual offset project or initiative;
– The exact name of each carbon offsetting initiative or project;
– The location of each initiative, including the most precise geographic information available (e.g. site address, or local authority area).

For each project identified above, please indicate whether it is:

a.) Council-led (wholly managed and delivered by the Council); or
b.) Collaborative (delivered in partnership with another local authority, public body, or third-party organisation). If so, please name the partner organisations involved.
