Projects

Here you can see a range of projects that have so far been identified as having the potentially to positively impact on the transition to net zero.

Energy

We’re looking for ways to accelerate the transition to clean and renewable energy sources and for ideas on how everyone can adopt more efficient energy systems so we use less of it.

Buildings

How should new housing developments or commercial buildings be built so they release less CO2 in construction and benefit from clean efficient use of energy ongoing?

Transport

Low emission cars, trucks and public transport options are changing the way we travel and ship goods. How can we help the transition to cleaner vehicles and make existing vehicles greener?
