Loughborough University: Since 2001 the University has purchased all of its power from renewable sources and was the first in the country to do so. From March 2007 a £1.3m combined heat and power (CHP) plant will be operational on campus. It is estimated that the Loughborough campus plant will prevent 1,200 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions being released into the atmosphere.  http://www.lboro.ac.uk

Nottingham Trent University: Over 50% of the electrical requirements are met from renewable sources with 100% of the City site being powered by renewable energy from a number of sources including biomass and on-shore and off-shore wind generation. The University also generates its own electricity and heat on site through the use of four combined heat and power units and is committed to identifying and investigating alternative renewable sources of energy such as biomass, wind power and solar power. http://www.ntu.ac.uk

University of Bristol: We take the opportunity to purchase 'green energy' where possible. Between April 2002 and March 2003 the precinct, which accounts for approximately 64% of the electricity consumed by the University, was supplied with green electricity. From 1 April 2003, the Langford site, which accounts for approximately 10% of the University's electricity consumption, is being supplied with electricity produced from renewable resources or 'green energy'. The University's new CHP units will save 1,500 tonnes of CO2 per annum. http://www.bristol.ac.uk

Southampton University: The CHP and District Heating Project has linked the two sides of the campus maximising the use of the CHP Plant – and re-engineered the system – to optimise efficiency. The CHP plant was commissioned in October 2005 but work continues, extending the system to other buildings and by improving the control and operation of the heating systems in individual buildings. The CHP feeds 2800kW of power into the existing 11000V electrical distribution system. http://www.soton.ac.uk

University of Edinburgh: A £12m investment in 3 Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems have substantially reduced carbon dioxide emissions and will help keep energy bills under control for years to come. They represent a sound energy strategy for the future of this 423 year old institution. The University is committed to reduce absolute CO2 emissions by 40% by 2010, based on 1990 levels and to invest 5-10% of annual utilities spend on energy efficiency improvements. http://www.ed.ac.uk
