2,500 m² of photovoltaic panels at Sart Tilman
The University of Liège has 2,500 m2 of photovoltaic panels to install them on three large car parks of the Sart Tilman. This equipment will provide 400 000 kWh annually.
Irenewable energy installations and CO2 balance
In 2012, ULiège invested 9 million euros in a biomass cogeneration plant, the largest in Wallonia, which supplies 30% of the electricity and 50% of the heating needs of the Sart Tilman campus (including Liège University Hospital). This investment reduces the campus'CO2 emissions by 33%.
Uliège also has seven photovoltaic installations (with installed capacities ranging from 2 to 466 kWp), of which it consumes almost 100%. The large parking lots P14, P15 and P16 on the Boulevard du Rectorat on the Sart Tilman campus have been equipped with 1,759 photovoltaic panels, covering a surface area of 2,639m2. The output of these installations can be viewed online in real time. These investments have enabled ULiège to drastically reduce its environmental footprint.

Thanks to these installations, around 40% of ULiège's thermal energy needs and 25% of its electricity needs are produced by renewable means. Coupled with better management of production systems, they have enabled ULiège to reduce its CO emissions by 42% in 2018 compared with 2005 levels, i.e. 50 kg of CO /m² /year.
