Reducing Carbon Emissions
Brunel University plans to systematically reduce its carbon emissions in order to meet the Government’s target of 34% reductions by 2020 against a 1990 baseline level. The Brunel University Carbon Management Plan is a comprehensive document that outlines our carbon reduction strategies to be embedded in every aspect of the University.The document has been approved by SPARC on behalf of Council. Acknowledging that the most difficult challenge is changing individual behaviours, we intend to communicate actively with our students and staff by publishing our data, progress and strategies on the web, hosting training sessions and organising campaigns and projects.
The University’s milestones and target (tCO2)
The carbon emissions from gas and electricity in 2005/06 are the baseline for the target in 2020/21. The University has set two milestones – 20% and 35% reductions in 2012/13 and 2017/18 respectively – in order to meet the target of the 48% reduction in 2020/21.Carbon emissions from gas and electricity (tCO2)
