asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they will take to ensure that the 2012 Olympic Games are sustainable and produce low carbon emissions. [HL2963]

In the London 2012 sustainability plan, Towards a One Planet 2012, published in November 2007, the Olympic Board sets out how it intends to achieve a sustainable Games for each of the build, staging and legacy phases. For example, the design of the Olympic Park will minimise carbon emissions and the impact of climate change in a number of ways, including the building of a 120-metre turbine and an efficient combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) plant which will have the capacity to change from gas to other low carbon and renewable fuel sources as they become available.
