Process for carbon management
2023
Shoolini University has a structured process for carbon management and reducing carbon dioxide emissions as part of its commitment to a carbon-neutral, sustainable campus. This is guided by its Energy and Environment policy, which includes various initiatives such as a 400kWp solar power plant generating up to 1,600 kWh per day, reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 352 tons annually. The university also employs solar water heating systems, a solar-powered cooking system, and electric carts for campus transportation, minimizing reliance on fossil fuels. Furthermore, Shoolini has transitioned to 95% LED lighting and solar streetlights and constructs new buildings with sustainable materials, all contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.

Carbon reduction and emission reduction process
Shoolini University has a proven process for carbon management and reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the campus. Shoolini University has already implemented and installed a 400kWp grid-connected Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant in the campus which is generating electricity in the range of 1400-1600 kWh (units) per day which reduces the CO2 emission of about 352 tons/year. Additionally, solar water heating systems of capacity of 38000 litres per day have been installed in the University campus which is also contributing to CO2 emission reduction. A concentrated solar powered community cooking system with a capacity of 500 persons is running successfully in the campus. This system has the capacity to replace about 03 no. of conventional LPG cylinders per day which contributes to CO2 emission reduction of about 38 tons/year. Additionally, the university introduced three Electric carts (Battery operated) in the campus for local transportation and university has restricted all other conventional petroleum/diesel-based mode of transportation inside the campus. To walk on foot inside the University campuses is being encourages. This initiative has resulted in the reductions in CO2 emissions in the university campus to make it green campus. It is expected to have 50% less CO2 emissions as compared to conventional oil-based vehicles.
