Description

Livelabs 2 is a prestigious highways innovation programme funded by the Department for
Transport. There is an opportunity to join the partnership between South Gloucestershire
Council (SCG) and West Sussex County Council (WSCC) to deliver innovation for local
authorities across the UK which aims to bring about a fundamental re-think of green estate
management.
Greenprint is described as 'a carbon-negative systems model for green infrastructure
management. It aims to reduce operational emissions and revolutionise the narrative for
biomass drawn from councils' estates from 'waste' to 'value'. The partnership will pioneer
replicable, circular economy approaches for collecting verge biomass that will reduce the costs
and emissions associated with ongoing management, whilst increasing biodiversity. Collected
biomass will be processed to generate new sources of clean heat and power, alternative fuels
and asphalt additives that will further reduce the cost and emissions from highways
operations.
'This 'Greenprint' will demonstrate a sustainable and replicable model for local authorities,
transforming the role and value of the highway's green asset, and enable highways, waste and
other service functions to work together in synergy to deliver financial, environmental and
social value benefits while reducing carbon emissions.'
