What we found

Desk review: a proposed gas CHP saves ~133 tCO2/yr (~7% of stadium emissions, implying ~1,900 t total); 100% renewable (REGO) electricity and LED. but the stadium redevelopment energy strategy delivers only ~12% carbon reduction against the London Plan's 35% requirement, forcing an off-site offset contribution. Mixed performance + gas CHP -> trimmed within Certified (55 -> 53).
