The Carbon Trust is hot on the trail of global warming. The organization works with UK businesses and the public sector to cut carbon emissions and adopt low carbon technologies.
An independent company set up by the UK government, The Carbon Trust was formed in 2003 in response to the country's aspiration to reduce carbon emissions by 60% and create a low carbon economy by 2050.
The organization educates the public on the impact of climate change, provides information and consulting on energy saving and carbon management to businesses, promotes investment by businesses in energy saving technologies and products, and invests in the development of low carbon technologies in the UK.
