INREB will look at ways of reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions and accelerating the growth of renewable energy products in the U.K. With building heating systems exhaling 45% of all U.K. CO2 emissions, the partnership looks set to give the U.K. a boost in meeting targets set following the Kyoto agreement for the reduction of CO2 emissions by 2010. The partnership could provide an estimated 500,000 additional EU jobs by 2005.
