Plans to put the North at the centre of the UK’s push towards net zero have been published.
The 11 local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) in the region have published a Net Zero North Prospectus, outlining four areas where the North has world-leading capabilities that could drive the UK’s Green Industrial Revolution.
The report highlights work already done in offshore technologies; nuclear; hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage; and making the most of the North’s outstanding natural assets. It reveals that the region already generates half of England’s renewable energy and is reducing emissions 13% faster than the UK as a whole.
