Low Carbon Economy
The region is committed to developing a low carbon economy, with Newcastle upon Tyne leading the development of carbon neutral cities on behalf of the 'core cities' and One NorthEast committed to developing the first carbon neutral region in the UK.
"The region is experiencing unprecedented economic growth and science, technology and innovation are at the heart of this growth. " Margaret Fay OBE- Chairman of ONE
The North East is once again driving a global transformation in the energy sector, through the unique facilities, market opportunities and networks which are critical to the growth of energy companies, research groups and entrepreneurs to develop and grow. This is reflected in the rapidly expanding ranks of individuals and companies coming into the region from afar, attracted by the energy innovation connectors in Newcastle, Blyth, Durham and Tees Valley as their preferred location.
