- How do we achieve carbon reductions for Tier 3 outputs while still meeting Tier 1 Outcomes and Tier 2 Goals?
- Are we designing with excess headroom, which means more concrete, more steel and higher embodied carbon?
- Can we think differently about design criteria to meet river quality with lower carbon emissions?
BENEFITS
- Quantifying the compliance risk allows all stakeholders to buy into the solution
- Decisions can be made to ensure risk is proportionate to savings
- River improvement targets are met without compromising net zero carbon ambitions
- Reducing spend on TSRs frees up money to be spent on other priorities such as spill reduction
- Allows conversations around TOTEX
