Over 500 solar panels are being installed on the roof of one of the University of Huddersfield s largest buildings as part of a major carbon reduction scheme across the institution, in response to the climate emergency. The work is part of the University s 10 Point Plan towards achieving Carbon Neutral status for Scope 1 and 2 by 2030. Scope 1 emissions are those from sources directly owned or controlled by the University, while Scope 2 are those generated by use of energy bought from a utility provider.
The photovoltaic (PV) panels will be positioned on top of the Technology Building, the first phase of a planned investment of £1m in measures to reduce carbon emissions on the campus. The Plan was developed in conjunction with staff and students, and adopted by the University s Council in 2020.

WORK has begun on the creation of a massive £31.5 million indoor ship-building facility at Rosyth Dockyard. Babcock announced last week that it had awarded the contract to develop the new assembly hall to Scottish group Robertson Construction. The firm, which employs about 1,500 people at Rosyth, says the facility would be used initially for the Type 31 general purpose frigate programme and will provide a modern, future-ready facility designed to assemble two vessels side by side”. Free from weather disruption, the undercover area will enable productivity gains due to improved access and digital connectivity. At a small ceremony marking the beginning of the steel structure construction, Babcock also announced that it had placed an order for PEMA welding and production panel lines to support the automation of shipbuilding.
