Networks Case Studies

 
 
 

In 2007 the Carbon Trust, Networks Initiative funded 16 projects from trade and professional bodies and trade unions. Totalling £1.1m of funding and bringing total monies awarded to almost £2.5 million representing 41 projects from a diverse number of UK sectors.

Applicants to the Carbon Trust Networks Initiative each produced a detailed plan showing how their project would deliver demonstrable carbon emissions savings through engagement with their industry members. As previous years have demonstrated, we are working with a diverse range of sectors from Farming to Student Unions and Buildings. Below are the profile sheets of each of the successful projects from the third open call.
