Net Zero - Transport

Few disagree that transitioning to a net zero economy is the right thing to do. While the most significant changes need to come from government, business will also have to play their part to help reach net zero.

Practically speaking, there are some hurdles to overcome to ensure the UK is a leader in the just transition to a net zero economy.
In this seminar, we will explore the challenges and the opportunities for de-carbonising our transport network. Undoubtedly the UK has come a long way in its net zero transition journey. We have many excellent case-study examples in the north east of progress towards a net zero future, in our transport industries.
There will likely need to be a mix of green technologies, that will need to operate together to support the need for greener transport solutions. We must also look at optimising routes to ensure the most efficient journeys.
This event will support businesses of all sizes across the region to discuss some of the challenges related to decarbonising our transport network. We will explore some of the opportunities that exist and how you can help practically implement some of the solutions.

- Where are we and how do we address common issues.

- The practicalities of a net zero transport network.

- How you can you engage with a like-minded community and overcome challenges.
