Accounting, offsetting and sequestering: UK urged to set up carbon regulator on road to net-zero

The new body could be supported by organisations like the Environment Agency and CCC, the report states
That is according to a new report today (29 April) from the Energy Systems Catapult.
The report sets out the case for a body that would be responsible for ensuring that the Government’s methods for measuring and estimating emissions are accurate; that sectors deliver emissions reductions in line with national and international targets; and that fast-growing sectors such as international offsetting and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are not used to greenwash.

The DDP team (photo taken before lockdown) One of the team members behind Devizes s future station has spoken of the three main aims for the service moving forward. The town is the largest in the county without its own personal set of working rails for the public, a problem that the Devizes Development Partnership (DDP) have been working to change. The Department for Transport (Dft) have now agreed to fund a study into the potential for a new rail station called Devizes Gateway, which about 3.4 miles from Devizes Market Place, close to Lydeway. A feasibility study into the rail station is well underway, and now a survey has been launched to understand the views of people and businesses across the Devizes Community Area.
