II.1.4) Short description
As part of its Climate Plan, the University has identified a pathway to net zero. Key to delivery of this ambitious target will be its energy reduction and decarbonisation. To deliver the most effective means of achieving net zero emissions by 2030, we have developed a blended approach to demand reduction and decarbonisation will be supported by enhanced operating changes and behavioural change. This approach will allow us to make the most of the available budget, reduce operational impact, and de-risk delivery. In November 2021, the University Council approved the Pathway to Net Zero 2030, a key commitment of the Climate Plan and one of the University KPI’s. We plan to deliver this commitment with an estimated spend of c£40-100m. The University is looking to engage a Net Zero programme / project strategic delivery partner who will work with the university to deliver the programme. A strategic partner will be required to support, coordinate and deliver the construction elements of the plan. This partnership will embrace market leading expertise, the reduction in campus disruption due to better coordination of works, the ability to learn whilst delivering and retention of accumulated knowledge, and the sharing of risk. The scope of this programme of works includes existing building upgrades, new build energy centres, provision of large-scale low carbon technology and works to the ageing infrastructure / assets replacement works. These deliveries will be underpinned by enabling projects such as increasing our electricity capacity on campus and investing in large-scale renewable energy generation away from our campus. The programme will be split into phases of works, Phase 1 will form part of this procurement exercise and is planned for completion by the end of 2028. Whilst phase 1 projects are being delivered, we will complete further feasibility studies to inform the most effective projects for Phase 2 which will deliver the remaining emissions reductions. Phase 2 will commence later but run concurrently to Phase 1.
