As the UK’s Energy Estuary, the Humber provides a huge decarbonisation opportunity and Humber Freeport will play an important role in the UK’s journey to net zero. Innovation in cleaner, greener technologies is already abundant in the region and Humber Freeport is keen to attract investment from companies who share the ambition to play an key role in the decarbonisation of the region and the UK.
The decarbonisation sub-group is working to develop the region’s capabilities and ambition in becoming a world-leader in renewable energy, decarbonisation technology, and net zero business.
Humber Freeport Decarbonisation Group
The Humber Freeport has established a decarbonisation sub-group, working together to understand the role the tax sites play in attracting investors who can supply, store, transport and use renewable energy.
The group are developing a Humber Freeport Decarbonisation Master Plan which will be published this year.
