This research study had two components: estimating the size, structure and potential growth of the low carbon economy in Leicester and Leicestershire; and research into SME attitudes and action with regard to resource efficiency. The project involved a mix of primary and secondary quantitative data collection and analysis, including a survey of local businesses, combined with qualitative work with local SMEs, key ‘low carbon’ firms; and policy makers.

The research included recommendations for the development of LLEP’s low carbon programme.

The project team also included Karl Dalgleish (KaDa Research) and Mike Foden.
