Clean Bus Technology Fund
This project aims to reduce the amount of NOx by retrofitting accredited emission control technology onto 470 older buses across West Yorkshire, to significantly improve tailpipe emissions
To ensure long term economic resilience and success, the City Region needs to plan for and manage future climate change impacts. Green Infrastructure can assist with this and help to attract and retain investment, skilled people and tourism.
We will apply a low carbon and sustainable approach in everything we do. As a leader in low carbon, we will exploit new economic opportunities with potentially huge global market opportunities. Our businesses will be highly efficient in their use of energy and resources, allowing them to de-couple growth from carbon emissions and pollution.
Poor air quality and fuel poverty will be a thing of the past – homes will be well-insulated, while efficient energy generation, usage and smart networks will ensure everyone is actively in control of their energy consumption. We will not just have maintained and enhanced our already beautiful landscape, but will have found innovative new ways to work with it.

As a result of funding through the Community Renewal Fund (CRF) and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF); tenants in social housing will benefit from warmer homes and reduced energy use, alleviating the impact of high fuel bills.
The LEP’s Energy Accelerator was an innovative programme designed to help low carbon and energy efficient projects become a reality where they may otherwise not have been completed due to a lack of capacity, expertise and funding.
The Leeds PIPES district heat network, which will benefit from £4 million from Leeds City Region Growth Deal funding, will bring low carbon, lower cost heating and hot water to the city of Leeds, while also cutting 22,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year
We provide advice and grants of up to £10,000 to small and medium-sized businesses in Leeds City Region (not Barnsley) to help them lower their carbon footprint, energy use and water and waste costs
We’ve helped over 1,440 households across the Leeds City Region lower their energy bills and heat their homes more efficiently through our Growth Deal-funded Tackling Fuel Poverty Programme
As a result of a successful £2 million bid to the Government’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV), West Yorkshire Combined Authority and its partner local authorities - Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield Councils are installing 88 rapid vehicle charging points across West Yorkshire
