Brown University
Summary
As Brown University moves toward a pledge to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, the University will take a major step toward decarbonization and energy resiliency by creating a modern, sustainable thermal energy system on its College Hill campus.
Brown will advance its in-progress transition away from fossil fuels through a new multi-phase initiative to upgrade how the campus creates and distributes heat. As the next step in a series of long-term actions toward its net-zero commitment, the initiative follows official third-party verification in May that Brown achieved its initial goal to cut greenhouse emissions 75% below 2017-18 levels by 2025.
The first phase of the new initiative — the Sustainable Thermal Energy Program — will build on Brown’s progress to date and reduce campus greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 8% to 10% while laying the groundwork for future electrification and progress toward the 2040 net-zero goal.
