Yorkshire Forward - A Low Carbon Economy - Part 2

Yorkshire Forward's role is to help businesses in the Yorkshire and Humber region to grow and prosper, and to make the region a better place to live, work and invest.

As traditional energy sources run low, the biggest challenge facing governments is how to replace them with alternative options and reduce carbon emissions, while maintiaining business and industrial growth.

The Yorkshire and Humber region is at the heart of the Uk in terms of renewable energy, leading the development of pioneering technologies in this sector.

Yorkshire Forward is actively working with businesses and organisations in the region to create new opportunities in emerging growth sectors, such as the low carbon economy. That includes a groundbreaking Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) program.

Experts in this firled tell us why Yorkshire is at the forefront of this technology.

The Humber is also set to become home to the largest planned Round 3 Offshore Wind Farm Zone, which will be positioned directly off the region's coast, presenting a major opportunity for energy companies, developers, turbine manufacturers and installation specialists.
