Bioenergy Insight
Summary
A study into UK universities’ commitments to sustainable energy by price comparison service Uswitch has highlighted which educational facilities are doing the most to limit the effect on their environment.
The study found 53 of the 105 universities that responded came back with three positive notes on three key questions: who is the energy supplier and are you on a green/renewable energy tariff with them? Are there any renewable energy schemes in place or in the pipeline? Do you have any renewable installations on campus?
Among the positive respondents, Bournemouth University has the most on-site installations, featuring a biomass boiler, solar panels, three ground source heat pumps and two rainwater harvesting systems.
The University of Northampton was ranked within the top tier of the 105 universities tested. Across the campuses, the university has a biomass boiler and solar panels, is on a green energy tariff with EDF and has plans in place to install a combined heat and power facility on one of its campuses, which would generate electricity and useful heat.
