In the last twelve months the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV’s carbon emissions have dropped by around 630 tonnes, compared with the previous twelve month period. The reduction in carbon emissions was assissted by an investment in a combined heat and power plant at the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV’s Bedford campus.

In 2008/9 the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV emitted around 7,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere.

This has now been reduced to just under 5,500 tonnes.

The 2,000 tonne reduction inÌýÌýcarbon emissions is partly as a result of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV’s year on year investment in and instillation of low carbon technologies such as LED lighting and highly efficient boilers.

To meet its carbon reduction target, the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV needs to continue reducing its carbon emissions at a rate of around 500 tonnes per year until 2020.
