The FAST Project
The Flintshire Sustainable Decarbonised Future (FAST) project was developed as a result of the DDF’s efforts. FAST takes strategic insights from the forum and applies them to real-world decarbonisation projects, helping industries implement practical, funded solutions.
FAST is independent but aligned with the DDF’s goals, ensuring that businesses in Flintshire have access to targeted support for achieving net zero.
