Welcome to the Low Carbon Trust and Earthship Brighton.

The Low Carbon Trust is a not-for-profit organisation that was formed in 2001 to set up, manage and promote environmental projects. Our main objective is tackling climate change through highlighting the connection between buildings and the carbon emissions their use produces. We do this by running innovative low-carbon construction projects, and training, outreach and education workshops.

One of our first projects was Earthship Brighton. Despite the name, the aim of this project was not to build a ‘ship' in the conventional sense, but to construct a building that would be used to demonstrate how a low carbon and low waste future could look.

Earthship Brighton is a community centre and is now complete. After winning various awards, it is being showcased as one of the most progressive eco-buildings in Europe.
