The works integrate to a robust campus infrastructure which is fit for the future and wil reduce the university’s carbon footprint by over 750 tonnes per year. The new installation will: reduce annual operating costs and carbon emissions; provide a flexible and sustainable future energy supply; support long-term growth of the campus; offer the potential to generate income from selling excess electricity generated; and support the delivery of the university’s carbon management plan as well as initiatives such as sustainable Glasgow. The use of the CHP will require additional gas consumption which will be offset by a reduction in the electricity costs.

The 845kWe CHP facility utilising 1 x JMS412 Jenbacher gas engine from GE is linked to the campus through a district energy scheme with underground pipework connecting them together. This installation will provide a flexible and sustainable energy supply and will upgrade obsolete heating systems and boilers. The works integrate to a robust campus infrastructure which is fit for the future and will

reduce the university’s carbon footprint by over 750 tonnes per year. The new installation will: reduce annual operating costs and carbon emissions; provide a flexible and sustainable future energy supply; support long-term growth of the campus; offer the potential to generate income from selling excess electricity generated; and support the delivery of the university’s carbon management plan as

well as initiatives such as sustainable Glasgow. The use of the CHP will require additional gas consumption which will be offset by a reduction in the electricity costs. It will result in approximate annual savings of £250,000 in operational costs over the first four years of operation (2013/14-16/17). It will additionally reduce the university’s carbon taxes. The project is funded by SFC

capital grand funding The CHP facility will achieve a total fuel efficiency of 86.5% and achieves a good quality CHP scheme QI score of 146.3 which is over 46.3 points above the scheme’s threshold.
