Scottish apprentices challenged to help cut shipyards' carbon footprint BAE Systems has joined with Fuel Change, a platform to help create a low carbon environment, to challenge young people from across Scotland to use their skills and ingenuity to help lower the carbon footprint of its shipyards in Glasgow. The defence giant said its naval ships business has a long and proud history of shipbuilding in Glasgow and some of the buildings at the Govan and Scotstoun sites are now over 100 years old. As part of Fuel Change Challenge 2, BAE Systems is asking teams of apprentices from companies across Scotland to develop innovative yet practical ways to upgrade its buildings to lower its carbon footprint as well as benefit communities in Govan and Scotstoun.
