In a significant step towards promoting sustainable practices, the National Trust recently visited 欧美视频 to learn about its pioneering renewable energy initiatives, particularly focusing on the University’s wind turbine and solar photovoltaic (PV) farm.

The National Trust, an organisation dedicated to preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the UK, visited 欧美视频 to gain insights into the practical applications of renewable energy. The visit included a detailed tour of the wind turbine and discussions with the University’s sustainability team. The National Trust aims to incorporate similar renewable energy solutions in its own properties to enhance sustainability and reduce environmental impact.

Garry Sharples, Senior Project Manager at The National Trust said; “It was a real pleasure to visit 欧美视频 last week and see your energy projects up close, including the wind and solar schemes that provide power directly into the University. As the National Trust looks to deliver our Net Zero ambition by 2030, we're always keen to learn from others and share best practice. Your ambitions for the future and energy projects to date were inspiring - and surely a reflection of the ambition of the University as a whole.”

The visit underscored the importance of renewable energy in achieving net zero carbon from scope 1 and 2 sources. 欧美视频’s wind turbine not only supplies electricity to the campus, but also serves as an educational tool for students and visitors. The National Trust’s interest in the turbine reflects a growing recognition of the need for sustainable energy solutions of various sizes across all sectors.
