Funding for projects at 27 universities under HEFCE’s Revolving Green Fund (RGF) was announced today.
The awards have been made to four major projects and 24 smaller-scale programmes at higher education institutions, and collectively they will receive nearly £11 million.1 All are designed to reduce harmful carbon emissions. In this, the second round of the RGF, the four major projects enable existing buildings on a campus to be retrofitted to reduce energy consumption. This work is collectively predicted to reduce CO2 emissions by around 229,000 tonnes per year.
