Renewables and the University

The Renewable Energy and Low Carbon Options Review Group has be established to review what further investments in renewable technologies, such as solar and wind, could be made. The University has already invested more than £30 million in low carbon and renewable technology on campus.

Remit

  1. Assess the prevalence and maturity of alternatives to fossil fuel energy generation, and carbon use management techniques, and rank their success.
  2. Develop a standard, practical methodology for the University to use when evaluating potential investments in renewable or other energy options
  3. Examine the business case for, and opportunities and risks associated with, investment at scale in renewable energy, low carbon and carbon offsetting technologies
  4. Prepare a report to Central Management Group on the options to consider and the impacts and consequences of any decisions it may make.
