The investment will help accelerate the translation of zero carbon research into high-impact innovations with commercial and policy solutions to meet the climate challenge.
More than five million pounds from East Midlands Freeport, match-funded by Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham, has been pledged to the first phase of a zero carbon innovation centre. This will be led by the University of Nottingham and based at its Jubilee Campus and Loughborough.
The centre will consolidate the East Midlands’ position as a world leader in the development and deployment of innovation in green industries, attracting international investment and providing support for global businesses.
