Project to help reduce county’s carbon footprint

The project is an industry and academic collaboration and is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and supported by Boost; Lancashire’s business growth hub.

The process comprises four stages involving workshops to explore ideas and initiatives, site visits, energy audits and the creation and implementation of an action plan.

Mark Nelson, business engagement officer at MaCaW, said: “By working together, Lancashire SMEs can have a significant impact on the region’s carbon footprint. The project aims to engage organisations in implementing low energy practices and processes to reduce their carbon burden, as well as making significant cost savings. I’d encourage people to come along and see how the project could benefit them.”
