The Energy Team oversee the action being taken by the University to meet our HEFCE carbon reduction targets of a 43% reduction by 2020 (on a 2005 baseline).
This means we need to reduce our emissions down to 19,000 tonnes, all while continuing to expand our activity as a University. A challenging target, but one that can be achieved through Energy Efficiency, Behaviour Change and Self Generation.
We are already reducing our emissions year on year, as shown by our achievement of the Carbon Trust Standard. Use the links below to find out how we're reducing emissions, and what you can do too.
