The North West


The Furness Peninsular - Leading the way on Net Zero


Across the Furness peninsular, world class


businesses are putting Westmorland and Furness at the forefront of decarbonisation. Due to the proximity to the Irish Sea they have production assets for offshore wind, gas, low carbon generation and storage opportunities and a fast growing sector in clean growth and innovation.


The Port of Barrow acts as a gateway to this


growth, serving local and national


industry and manufacturing, and hosting world-class


one of the UK’s most experienced energy infrastructure


shipbuilding. Carlton Power, development companies,


has secured the Government’s support – subject to final agreement – to build a green hydrogen hub in Barrow-on-Furness.


The Barrow Green Hydrogen hub will supply hydrogen to Kimberly-Clark’s manufacturing facility at Barrow-in-Furness. Spirit Energy is moving forward with plans to convert its depleted South Morecambe and North Morecambe gas fields and Barrow Terminals into a world-class carbon storage cluster.


Brilliant Barrow


With more than £40 million of regeneration investment


already secured, an first exciting


transformation is ahead for Barrow-in-Furness. Barrow was among the


towns in


the country to secure £25m from the Government’s Towns Fund for seven exciting projects that will help the area to thrive for generations.

From a new Learning Quarter to an active travel infrastructure, support programme for start- ups and entrepreneurship and a network of community hubs including a £6 million Outdoor Learning Centre located within a protected beachside setting, the #BrilliantBarrow Town Deal is changing the future of the town.


A further £17.5 million regeneration scheme funded via Levelling Up will reinvigorate the town centre so it


is ready to embrace a


prosperous and healthy future. All projects are at an advanced stage with


planning permission actively being sought or already in place and delivery on track for late 2024.


Transforming lives through education and skills


Westmorland and Furness are an ambitious council; ambitious for everyone.
