A £12 million grant has been secured to help fund a new green energy centre in Goole.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is developing a plant that could allow homes and businesses to ditch oil and gas in favour of cleaner, cheaper energy.
Goole Green Heat Network is one of seven low carbon projects to share a pot of £91 million. It is designed to extract waste heat from a nearby manufacturing plant and pump it to residents and businesses in the area. If approved, construction could begin early next year, with supply anticipated before 2024 closes.
