The Carbon Trust

The Carbon Trust was set up by Government in 2001 as an independent company.

The Carbon Trust’s mission is to accelerate the move to a low carbon economy, by working with organisations to reduce carbon emissions now and develop commercial low carbon technologies for the future.

We cut carbon emissions now

• By providing business and the public sector with expert advice, finance and accreditation
• By stimulating demand for low carbon products and services

We cut future carbon emissions

• By developing new low carbon technologies through project funding and management, investment and collaboration
• By identifying market barriers and practical ways to overcome them
