Low Carbon Economy

Manchester was the first industrial city built on, and powered by, coal. New Economy is working with our partners to achieve a rapid transformation to a low carbon economy.

Our work involves engaging with key individuals and organisations and increasing their understanding of low carbon solutions. The programme looks to invest in new technologies, science and innovation, supporting low carbon industries and skills. Over a five year period the aim is to add £650m to the economy, support the creation of 34,000 jobs and save 6m tons of carbon.
