Net Zero Leiston is made up of community representatives, local councils, leading engineers, modelling and consumer insights experts, a local energy consultancy, a low carbon strategy consultancy and EDF.
Net Zero means reducing emissions of greenhouse gases to an amount where the gases released into the atmosphere from heating our homes, fuelling our vehicles and running businesses and public services, are the same as the amount we can remove from the atmosphere.
The simplest solution is to cut carbon emissions by as much as possible in our everyday activities.We need to try to switch from using polluting technologies to cleaner, greener ones. This could be the cars we drive, how we heat our home or how we commute to work.
We want to ensure that the road to Net Zero for Leiston creates skills and employment opportunities, and lowers energy bills through energy efficiency and affordable technologies. Ultimately, we want Leiston to thrive from the High Street to the industrial estates, and for our residents to benefit from cheaper bills, putting Leiston on the map as a leader in this field.
