Solihull Council's reported carbon emissions
Solihull Council, operating in the "Other services (93)" sector in Great Britain (GB), has set ambitious climate commitments. The council is dedicated to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030 for its own operations. This target is supported by interim goals, including a 45% reduction by 2021 and at least a 50% reduction by 2025, using a 2009/10 baseline year.
In addition to its direct operational targets, Solihull Council supports the West Midlands Combined Authority's (WMCA) goal of reaching net zero carbon by 2041. This broader regional target includes specific milestones of 36% reduction by 2022 and 69% by 2027.
While specific total emissions data for recent years is not fully available, records indicate that for the reporting year 2021, Solihull Council reported approximately 1,198 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Emissions data for 2018 shows a carbon intensity of 143,000.0 kg CO2e per unit of Gross Value Added (revenue), with the commodity unit being GBP.
The council's Net Zero Action Plan is being refreshed in 2025, with ongoing prioritisation of actions to reduce emissions in key sectors. Missing data points for 2021 include Scope 3 categories such as purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute, indicating areas for further reporting development.
