Delivering Zero-Carbon Schools: A practical and innovative business model for the community energy sector

Schools are at the heart of our local communities; they represent a quarter of public sector carbon emissions, so fully decarbonising their energy will be essential. While two-thirds of local authorities have declared a Climate Emergency, many do not have plans in place to tackle schools’ emissions. This report presents a new business model developed by Leicester-based Green Fox Community Energy Co-operative to completely decarbonise the energy used by schools, to create zero-carbon schools.
