The government is creating 250,000 new green jobs as part of its plan to hit net zero emissions, investing £4bn.
The scheme will also teach new green skills to a generation of workers.
The Government’s long waited carbon neutral 10-point plan will emphasise the potential jobs that the so-called green industrial revolution could bring to regions that have suffered industrial decline.
The plan will also include funding for offshore wind power as already announced by the prime minister earlier in the year.
Residential heating is one of the biggest emitters of carbon, which is causing concern for the Government, you will expect to see grants towards making homes more energy efficient – which again it hopes will create thousands of new jobs.
It is thought the final plan will also include investments in hydrogen power and there may be a commitment to new nuclear energy.
The figure of £4bn will be considered by many as a small down-payment on a transformation that the Committee on Climate Changes estimates will cost £1 trillion over the next 30 years.
