Abstract: MNRE, Government of India is implementing a programme on development of Solar Cities wherein about 100 small townships/campuses are proposed to be developed as green campus during the 12th five year plan.
Tezpur University plans to develop its campus as a green campus, under the aforesaid MNRE The programme and aims to reduce 25% fossil fuel based energy within next 5 years through renewable energy and energy efficiency measures. GSES India Sustainable Energy Pvt. Ltd was assigned to prepare a master plan and detailed project reports to develop Tezpur University Campus as a “Green Campusâ€. The objective of developing Tezpur University Campus into a “Solar Campus†is to understand and assess carbon footprint of the university campus as a whole and prepare an action plan to implement renewable energy and energy efficiency projects to achieve a targeted goal to reduce conventional energy consumption and thereby reduce GHG emission in the campus.
Based on data collected from and provided by the university, a detailed analysis on the energy consumption including electricity, diesel and LPG was undertaken. Further a report has been prepared identifying energy efficiency potential and renewable energy potential to reduce conventional energy consumption and thereby reduce GHG emission in the campus. This section of work also undertook the carbon footprint assessment of the campus due to LPG usage, waste generated, diesel consumption and electricity.
