The UK Government has committed to achieve net zero emissions by 2050; aiming to improve the environment within a generation and leave it in a better state than we found it.
Gloucestershire College pledges to become carbon zero much sooner than this. We are the first college in the country to drive decarbonisation; aiming to deliver net zero campuses by 2030 and operate renewably and responsibly across our three campuses in Cheltenham, Cinderford and Gloucester, including our resources, facilities and transport links.
We are committed to engaging and educating our staff, students and the wider community on the importance of acting now for climate change, and how we can all work together to help save our planet.
After months of hard work, we celebrated the completion of our ambitious GC Zero building works on Friday 22 July, taking us closer to our goal of delivering net zero campuses by 2030 and cementing our place as a leader in driving decarbonisation in the education sector.
Gloucestershire College (GC) is thrilled to have been named a 2030 Climate Action finalist in this year’s Green Gown Awards, thanks to its industry-leading GC Zero project and commitment to driving decarbonisation in education.
After months of hard work, we’re pleased to say that the major works for our GC Zero project are coming to an end, and all is now in place to make the final connections which will see our Gloucester and Cheltenham campuses switchover to using fully renewable energy.
As our GC Zero project is nearing completion, a second rig is in place at Gloucester campus to progress the drilling after completing all 40 boreholes at our Cheltenham Campus.
