ECFORGE

Built by people who deeply care.

EcoForge began as research, undertaken at the University of Sheffield, into how our region can most effectively navigate its way to net zero. We know that the councils doing that work need the answers in an afternoon—not a research cycle.

What EcoForge is built on

Every figure comes from published open-access official statistics for the authority you select — Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield — and traces back to that source data. These are modelled estimates rather than measurements, and we say so on the page where you read them.
