Carbon dioxide emissions from churches arise from a limited number of activities. Mainly emissions come from energy used when heating and lighting a church but at larger sites other activities like hot water generation, kitchen and catering activities and office energy use will also contribute. It should be noted that using energy, whether it is electrical energy or fossil fuels like gas, oil or coal, will result in the release of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. This guidance document sets out information that is aimed to help each church reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, where to start including an energy checklist and much more.
