Net Zero Delivery Plan
- Work begins: December 2023
- Work due to be completed: 2030
Brief:
Delivering net zero is one of the University’s seven Climate Plan principles, reflecting our shared ambition to significantly reduce our operational impact on climate change and contribute to a cleaner, fairer and healthier environment for all.
To turn this ambition into reality, the University has developed the Net Zero Delivery Plan. This programme of work will focus on future‑proofing our infrastructure, reducing the amount of energy we use, and ensuring that the energy we do need comes from the cleanest possible sources.

Work to deliver the ambitions set out in our Net Zero Delivery Plan is already underway. We are improving how we heat and power our estate, reducing energy use, and preparing our buildings for a low‑carbon future.
Key activity includes:
- Electrifying buildings, including the Brownlee Centre and the engineering cluster
- Installing solar panels on the Worsley Building
- Conducting geothermal test drilling to explore low‑carbon heat opportunities
- Introducing smart energy management trials to reduce energy demand
- Future‑proofing our estate through collaboration with the Campus Reimagined programme
