Climate change is the greatest threat facing our planet. In York, we are committed to tackling this threat; in 2019, City of York Council declared a climate emergency and set an ambition for York to be net zero carbon by 2030\.Previous research has shown that buildings are the largest source of emissions in York, accounting for over 60% of our locally derived emissions. There are more than 80,000 homes in York, with additional commercial and public buildings. To achieve net zero, over half of these homes will need to be retrofitted (44,000) with insulation, glazing and draughtproofing improvements, as well as installing 73,000 heat pumps.Transport is another significant contributor to emissions in York (27%), with a projected requirement for 91,000 fully electric vehicles to decarbonise the transport system. York has one of the most extensive public EV charging networks outside of London, following a programme of off-street infrastructure provision. In the last 5 years, we have seen a 10-fold increase in the number of charging sessions on the public network, with reports that users are finding it increasingly difficult to access available charge-points.The increased electrification of heating and transport systems across the city will increase York's annual demand for electricity from 773 GWh to 1,273 GWh. Modelling has indicated the potential for rooftop solar PV to contribute 91 GWh per year at an estimated capital cost of £137million.By combining social, capacity, financial and structural approaches, this project creates a holistic and practical application of the outcomes from Local Area Energy Planning - providing a framework for local areas to achieve decarbonisation through local acceleration zones.

气候变化是地球面临的最大威胁。在约克，我们致力于解决这一威胁；2019年，约克市议会宣布进入气候紧急状态，并设定了到2030年实现净零碳排放的目标。先前的研究表明，建筑物是约克郡最大的排放源，占本地排放量的60%以上。约克郡有超过8万户住宅，还有额外的商业和公共建筑。为了实现净零排放，这些家庭中有一半以上（44000户）需要进行隔热、玻璃和防风改造，并安装73000台热泵。交通运输是约克排放量的另一个重要贡献者（27%），预计需要91,000辆全电动汽车来减少运输系统的碳排放。在一项非街道基础设施提供计划之后，约克拥有伦敦以外最广泛的公共电动汽车充电网络之一。在过去的5年里，我们看到公共网络上的充电次数增加了10倍，有报告称，用户发现越来越难以访问可用的充电点。整个城市的供暖和运输系统电气化的增加将使约克的年电力需求从773吉瓦时增加到1273吉瓦时。建模表明，屋顶太阳能光伏每年贡献91吉瓦时的潜力，估计资本成本为1.37亿英镑。通过结合社会、能力、财务和结构方法，该项目创造了一个整体和实际应用的成果，从地方能源规划-提供一个框架，为地方地区实现脱碳，通过地方加速区。
