Runway to Net Zero

第二阶段的探路者投标是由伦尼米德自治市议会与组成希思罗战略规划小组（HSPG）的8个地方当局和3个地方企业合作伙伴共同完成的。我们的第一阶段净零探路者项目建立了在功能碳区（FCA）规模上解决脱碳挑战的概念。这意味着跨越若干行政边界开展协作，以便更好地了解在实际影响碳排放的适当地理区域减少排放方面存在的挑战和机遇。功能性碳区域的地理位置考虑到排放的根本来源，特别是交通和电网网络的性质。我们的第二阶段探路者项目旨在通过一系列有针对性的试点和扩展的可行性研究来实现这一发现。这些计划旨在发展第一阶段产生的一些最具说服力和可交付的想法，以克服与**治理/跨界合作**和**财务有关的非技术障碍。**具体而言：*试点发展航空行业特定的当地碳抵消市场——从机场和航空公司获得投资，投入当地的脱碳项目，特别关注电动汽车充电点的交付和国内改造项目。*修订HSPG联合战略规划框架，探索切实可行的规划杠杆，在整个次区域实现净零排放；*开展次区域交通规划研究，重点关注机场相关的交通活动，以及如何通过更好的合作和综合推出低进入门槛的干预措施，如主动出行和基于公交车的解决方案，最有效地实现这些活动的脱碳。*探索机会，探讨如何在机场、低能耗项目和机场之间建立更好的能源使用伙伴关系，以帮助加速向净零排放过渡。我们希望对从地方当局的废物流中产生可持续航空燃料的潜力进行具体的高水平可行性研究。制定和实施上述试点和可行性研究，将使我们的计划能够提供一个首创的概念，这将使我们的计划最大限度地发挥创新和影响，利用该地区的全国性规模和经济实力，提供行业领先的结果。

This Phase 2 Pathfinder bid is made by Runnymede Borough Council, working in collaboration with the eight Local Authorities and three Local Enterprise Partnerships that make up the Heathrow Strategic Planning Group (HSPG).Our Phase 1 Net Zero Pathfinder project established the concept of addressing decarbonisation challenges at the Functional Carbon Area (FCA) scale. This means working collaboratively across a number of administrative boundaries to better understand the challenges and opportunities that exist to reduce emissions across an appropriate geography that practically influences carbon emissions. The geography of a functional carbon area is one that takes into account the root sources of emissions, and in particular the nature of transport and electricity grid networks.Our Phase 2 Pathfinder project seeks to operationalise this finding, through a series of targeted pilots and extended feasibility studies. These aim to develop some of the most compelling and deliverable ideas arising from Phase 1 for overcoming non-technical barriers relating to **governance/cross boundary collaboration** and **finance.** Specifically:\*Pilot the development of an aviation sector specific local carbon offset market -- getting investment from the airport and airlines into local decarbonisation projects with a particular focus on the delivery of Electric Vehicle Charging Points and domestic retrofit projects.\*Revision of the HSPG Joint Strategic Planning Framework to explore practical planning levers to deliver net zero across the sub-region\*Undertake a sub-regional transport planning study, focusing on airport related movements and how these can be most effectively decarbonised via better collaboration and the integrated roll-out of low barriers to entry interventions, e.g. active travel and bus-based solutions.\*Explore opportunities to explore how better partnership work on energy use between LAs, LEPs and the airport can help hasten the transition to net zero. We want to undertake a specific high level feasibility into the potential for generating sustainable aviation fuel from local authority waste streams.Developing and implementing the above pilots and feasibility studies will enable the delivery of a first-of-a-kind concepts which will allow our programme to maximise innovation and impact, leveraging the region's nationally significant scale and economic power to deliver sector-leading results.
