Strategic Definition, Planning and Briefing

Our guidance, tools and templates will help you set up your organisation to tackle carbon emissions reduction, and they complement the Net Zero Estate Playbook – developed by the Office of Government Property with support from Energy Systems Catapult.

It includes guidance on timelines, energy data, greenhouse gas reporting, as well as developing your stakeholder engagement and communication plans. Tools are available to help you estimate your energy usage into the future and provide a quick assessment of the benefits of implementing certain decarbonisation interventions.

Who should use this guidance?

This Public Sector Decarbonisation Guidance was commissioned by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), formerly the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), and the Government Property Function to help public sector bodies and their decarbonisation partners understand the best route to Net Zero. We aim to help deliver decarbonisation projects at scale, as well as support grant funding applications, to enable rapid progress on reducing carbon emissions.

This guidance takes learnings from the Modern Energy Partners (MEP) programme and expertise from across Energy Systems Catapult to provide guidance on heat decarbonisation and energy management.
