Al-Zahrawi University

Al-Zahrawi University is publicly dedicated to minimize the emission of carbon in its campus gradually, until the emission of greenhouse gas (GHG) reaches a net-zero level by 2050

:Scope 1

Scope 1 emissions involves the direct GHG emissions produced from sources like the combustion of gas for heating and diesel for power generation and transportation. The strategy used to reduce      these emissions includes

• Renewable energy implementation: Solar panels were installed on campus buildings, supplying a part of our energy needs
• Transport Electrification: The university has the intention to replace its vehicles with electric or hybrid alternatives
• Encouraging public transportation by buses inside and outside campus

:Scope 2

Scope 2 emissions generated by the purchased electricity consumed by the university campus. The strategy used to reduce carbon fingerprint includes

• Green energy procurement: The university is planning to use solar energy and winds energy to gradually replace the traditional sources of energy, until the campus reaches net zero emission of carbon
• On-campus energy conservation approach: The university is implementing a campus-wide energy conservation plan that includes the use of energy-efficient lighting and conditioning devices
• Sustainable green buildings design: This design can promote the use of natural lighting and ventilation; this can reduce overall energy consumption inside campus
