568Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Mass TransitImprove fuel economy and reduce CO2 from bus and/or light railThe Victoria and Jubilee line upgrades have introduced automatic operation and regenerative braking to these lines. Regenerative braking has also been introduced on the metropolitan line. This helps to reduce energy usage per km on the network. TfL’s energy modelling indicates that regenerative braking has saved over 32,000 tCO2 in 2013-14 and approximately 77,000 tCO2 since 2010-2011.(51.504858°, -0.078689°)(55.378051°, -3.435973°)
569Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Private TransportImprove fuel economy and reduce CO2 from motorized vehiclesTfL introduced the Ultra Low Emission Discount for congestion charging in July 2013, which replaced the Green Vehicle Discount and the Electric Vehicle Discount. The discount lowered the CO2 threshold for exempt vehicles and effectively limited the discount to pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Vehicles need to emit less than 75g/km of CO2 and meet Euro 5 engine standards to be exempt. As of March 2014 around 1,800 vehicles have registered for this discount.(51.504858°, -0.078689°)(55.378051°, -3.435973°)

574Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Finance and Economic DevelopmentInstruments to fund low carbon projectsThe London Green Fund has been set up to invest in schemes that will cut London’s CO2 emissions. The fund was the first JESSICA Holding fund in the UK, and the £110 million invested in the fund is expected to leverage up to £1 billion of investment in CO2 reduction and wider ‘green’ programmes in London. The London Green Fund provides funding for three Urban Development Funds (UDFs) which are ‘revolving’ investment funds, where monies invested in one project are repaid and then re-invested in other projects.(51.504858°, -0.078689°)(55.378051°, -3.435973°)
575Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Energy SupplyLow or zero carbon energy supply generationThe Decentralised Energy Programme Delivery Unit (DEPDU) is supporting decentralised energy projects to go from feasibility through to market-ready status.
