Low Carbon Energy
Shoolini University does indeed measure the amount of low-carbon energy used across the university. The university conducts emissions calculations for greenhouse gases (GHG) arising from various sources of energy, including solar, liquid fossil fuels, gas, and diesel. By systematically tracking and quantifying these emissions, Shoolini University can assess its carbon footprint and work towards reducing its environmental impact. This approach aligns with sustainability and environmental stewardship goals, demonstrating the university's commitment to using low-carbon energy sources and promoting a greener campus environment.
2023
Low carbon energy usage is regularly monitored through electricity bills for the Solar photovoltaic power plant and conventional electricity consumption. Solar Energy is harnessed through Solar Photovoltaic panels installed on the rooftops of the University building blocks, hostels and car parking. The University campus is connected to the main grid operated by HP State Electricity Board (HPSEB). The solar electricity so generated is used to meet the partial energy needs of the University. The electrical energy used by the university was 22,93,594 kWh or 8,257 GJ and that generated by solar PV plant was 3,65,224 kWh or 1,315 GJ for 2023 leading to avoidance of 2,97,658 kg of CO2 by use of solar energy.
