Following a pilot scheme targeting the aggregates industry, among others, a clean tech programme is now being rolled out to bring innovative low-carbon technologies and energy-saving measures to other sectors of UK industry
The UK has the best renewable resources in Europe, with potential to generate billions for the economy, which is why the Carbon Trust continues to fund exciting renewable energy technology
Since its launch in 2001, the government-backed Carbon Trust has been helping transform many public sector buildings from energy-hungry, costly old edifices into modern, energy-efficient, low-carbon business centres fit for the 21st century
Of course climate change is a huge challenge, but it also presents an opportunity for industry to develop innovative technologies, for the job market in the sector to grow, and for Britain to become a world leader in the low-carbon economy
