While there are lots of possibilities for green energy, Falkirk Council will have to find external funding

Water from old mine workings could be used to heat homes in Falkirk as part of an innovative green energy plan.

A recent report to Falkirk Council's executive highlighted the work that is currently being done to reduce emissions. The council now has 124 electric vehicles to its fleet, while larger vehicles are being converted to run on hydrogenated vegetable oil. The report to the executive reminded members that while there are lots of possibilities for innovative ways to reduce emissions, Falkirk Council will need to find external funding to go ahead with any more projects.
