Oxfordshire-based company WAE are the perfect example of a British company taking full advantage of the economic opportunities the transition to net zero offers. How can the government best support new green industry to ensure WAE’s success becomes the norm, rather than the exception?

Misinformation around new, disruptive green technology has long been rife and is often propagated by those who stand to lose the most from the transition to a cleaner economy.

After unexpectedly passing the lower house a few weeks ago the Inflation Reduction Act has been signed into law by President Biden. This Act is not only a green energy bill, but one that aims to bring down energy costs and increase America’s energy security, all while cutting emission output by around 40% by 2030. The USA has clearly signalled to the world that the response to the global cost of living crisis and the existential threat to energy security posed by Russia and China, should not be to turn back the clock on net zero, but to accelerate it.

As Britain progresses its transition to full electrification, our cities will change for the better. Now is the time for inspired and imaginative solutions, to create a greener and cleaner future for all. Answering the question of how best to implement zero emission public transport will be key to achieving the country’s net zero targets.
