摘要：
Background: The results of a study of potential electricity-related GHG emissions reductions at UK off-grid, outdoor events are presented. Electricity consumption data were gathered for over 70 power systems at 18 events between 2009 and 2012. These systems included stages, traders, bars, performers' tour buses and campsite lighting. Results: Electricity-related GHG emissions can be reduced, whilst maintaining energy security, through: specifying more energy-efficient equipment; switching electrical equipment off when not in use; more accurately sizing generators; and fuel switching, either using biofuels or solar photovoltaic electricity. Conclusion: There is potential for electricity-related GHG emissions at temporary off-grid, outdoor events to be reduced by up to 50%.
