To achieve Net Zero by 2050 we need to think about how we tackle emissions on a local level. This means turning local plans into action. To achieve this, local authorities and those in the broader public sector need easy and affordable access to data, guidance, and support.
Through Net Zero Data, Net Zero Go, Public Sector Decarbonisation Guidance, and Local Area Energy Planning, we’re helping local places turn their climate commitments into action. These tools, techniques, plans, and guidance are helping local authorities to navigate the maze of Net Zero planning, to create approaches to decarbonisation that local people, communities and businesses can rally behind.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or just need a helping hand to get your Net Zero plans across the line, we’re on hand to support you on your low carbon mission.
Net Zero Go is a free platform for local authorities; helping you access the tools, guidance and support you need to deliver Net Zero energy projects in your area.

The Place team at the Catapult help Local Authorities turn Net Zero ambition into action.
We empower councils by helping them to mobilise the plans, projects and approaches needed to decarbonise a local area and convene the right stakeholders to enable investment and success.
Local Area Energy Planning (LAEP) is recognised as the leading method for translating national Net Zero targets into local energy system action with plans that are collaborative, data-driven and cost-effective.
Every month around 10 new local councils commit to taking climate action by pursuing a LAEP, with the overall number fast approach 100 in total.
Our pioneering evidence-based approach uses whole systems thinking to identify the best route for your local area to achieve Net Zero.

It is the platform from which almost all public services are provided and can play a vital role in reducing the UKs carbon emissions. The Public Sector Decarbonisation Guidance is a suite of freely available guides, tools and templates on the Energy Systems Catapult website. The guidance is commissioned by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Office of Government Property and builds on the Catapult’s real-world knowledge of decarbonising the public sector estate.
The PSDG can help you:
Accelerating carbon emissions reduction across public sector buildings, sites and estates with simplicity, speed and scale.
