DecarboN8 Podcast Tina Shield DecarboN8 is an EPSRC funded network seeking to bring together business, government and academia across the North of England. We aim to create an innovation ecosystem and test bed environment which allows us to trial and accelerate the adoption of low carbon transport solutions. In working across the North, the DecarboN8 network is looking to take a place-based approach recognising that different solutions might be needed for different types of area – but also acknowledging that sometimes we might need this to be joined up and consistent in order to get benefits at scale.
