Summary

This Prospectus showcases 18 investment cases across the North West to deliver real impact at the right price, whilst protecting our environment. The Net Zero North West partnership have brought together the stakeholders, challenges and opportunities from across the whole geography to develop the detailed case for economic investment.

The investment required, jobs secured / created, greenhouse gas emission reductions and the economic benefit to the North West are developed through analysis and expert insight, which are referenced in the report Annex. The investment numbers are extrapolated from the financial performance of the exemplar projects presented or from project feasibility reports in the UK. The number of jobs secured / created reflect an extrapolation from the exemplars and referenced publicly-available sources. Gross Value Add (GVA) is calculated from the number of jobs utilising UK Government statistics for current GVA performance of the region.
