The energy policy implemented at ULiège is bearing fruit: the ratios of CO2 emissions per m2 and per person are decreasing. Moreover, in 2018, the University produced 25% of its electricity and 41% of its heating thanks to renewable energies.
At the instigation of the European Union, Belgium submitted a "National Energy-Climate Plan" (PNEC) 2021 - 2030 at the end of 2018. It has two objectives: to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43% by 2030 compared to 2005 and to increase the share of renewable energies.
By 2050, the Walloon Parliament requires tertiary buildings to be carbon neutral for heating, domestic hot water and lighting consumption. ULiège is participating in this effort. Its proprety assets – which have- which has grown considerably since 2005 - is the subject of major insulation work (Institutes of Botany - Physics - CHU Liège). And while total energy consumption is increasing, the ratios of CO2 emissions per m2 and per person are decreasing.

Moreover, in 2018, the University produced 25% of its electricity and 41% of its heating using renewable energies (photovoltaic panels and biomass cogeneration ).

The few figures presented here show that the energy policy implemented is bearing fruit.
