SOStainability is pleased to announce that it has secured support from the University of Staffordshire to develop a comprehensive digital dashboard on decarbonization and net zero progression for entities.
The support is part of the Advanced and Digital Technologies Innovation Accelerator (ADTIA) programme at the university, which is funded by the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
The dashboard is intended to be a comprehensive, multi-purpose platform focused on renewable energy opportunities and net zero pathways. It will showcase a diverse range of offers, including ventilation, lighting, heating, refrigeration, compression, and renewable energy technology such as solar, battery storage, and electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
The focus is to help businesses and households easily take advantage of the offered opportunities, which could be public sector grants, loans, or other private sector incentives like discounts, power purchase agreements, and other support systems to aid the adoption of decarbonisation technologies.
Beyond the offers, the application will facilitate connections between service providers and clients, supporting beneficiaries in determining and achieving their net zero targets.
As implementer of the ADTIA programme, the University of Staffordshire will provide academic support to the project innovator engaged to develop the application.
Speaking on the initiative, Oke Epia, Chief Executive of SOStainability, said the dashboard is an important tool to help businesses and even households plan and implement their decarbonisation and energy-efficiency goals in a structured, standardized, and sustained manner through the use of technology.
He said: “The commencement of development of this application is a very significant step for us. We look forward to the immense possibilities this application brings, particularly for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing costs in homes and businesses. We are indeed excited and grateful to receive this support from the University of Staffordshire and the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council.”
