In June 2019, the Parliament passed legislation requiring the government to reduce the UK’s net emissions of greenhouse gases by 100% relative to 1990 levels by 2050. Doing so would make the UK a ‘net zero’ emitter.
This led to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council declaring a climate emergency in September 2019 and have set out their aims to achieve net zero carbon within the council by 2040, and across the borough by 2045.
Businesses must respond to these requirements from both legislation and demand.
As a response, The Business Village launched the Net Zero Accelerator, an exclusive project for 36 ambitious Barnsley businesses to contribute to net zero.
Although we’re now closed for applications for our current accelerator, we’ve been holding a series of roadshows across the Barnsley area where businesses found out more about the many exciting benefits and opportunities Net Zero can bring .
We’re hopeful that additional accelerators will be available during 2022/2023, to be added to our list for updates please drop us a line here
