Energy and decarbonisation  

Politecnico di Milano promotes responsible energy policies and solutions that leverage on the most advanced technologies for energy efficiency with the aim of reducing fossil primary energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions along with it.

In the 2023-25 period we will:

  • reduce the University's primary energy consumption, including through the adoption of effective management practices and behavioural change
  • ensure that the energy consumed is produced using renewable sources as much as possible
  • involve the Politecnico community, citizens and institutional stakeholders in the local community by becoming a catalyst for impact in the path towards decarbonisation

Goals

1  

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

-30% energy consumption.

2  

PRODUCTION AND USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

15% of purchased electricity from guaranteed renewable sources. +5 MW installed PV power. At least 3 RECs activated.

3  

REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION

-25% by 2025 vs 2015. -50% by 2030 vs 2015. Net zero by 2040.
