Schneider Electric has partnered with Sustainable Ventures in a bid to help create the carbon neutral home. According to the Climate Change Commission (CCC), the UK will not meet its zero carbon goals without almost entirely eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from Britain's 29 million homes. Schneider Electric has created the Net Zero Home Programme in partnership with Sustainable Ventures to boost innovation and help accelerate time to market for sustainable smart homes and 'plant to plug' solutions. From May 11 2020, start-ups and SMEs in the sustainable home and net zero sector can apply to undertake trials and proof of concepts (PoCs) using their innovations with Schneider Electric. Sustainable Ventures will host the competition call and shortlist entries. Successful applicants will be invited to participate in a Net Zero Home workshop before pitching to Schneider's Innovation Team and Mike Hughes, President of UK&I.
