Summary
Lancaster University has marked a major decarbonisation milestone with a groundbreaking event at the site of its new Net Zero Energy Centre.
Situated on the outer edge of its south east Lancaster campus, the Net Zero Energy Centre is part of a renewable energy project to virtually eliminate the use of gas to heat its Lancaster campus.
The Net Zero Energy Centre is being delivered by local, renewable energy company Vital Energi and the event highlighted Lancaster University’s continued progress on its Net Zero Energy Project.
To carry the heat across campus, 6.5 km of district heating pipework is also being installed to increase the network’s coverage from approximately 65% of buildings to 95%. This will connect 247 buildings and properties to the district heat network to receive low-carbon heat and water. The project is expected to be complete in early 2027.
