More energy-efficient equipment to reduce SLU’s climate impact
Published: 22 May 2016
The time has come for the second round of disbursements from the SLU climate fund, and two projects have been granted funding. More energy-efficient procedures for cooling electron microscopes and solar-powered trial sensors will reduce our emission of greenhouse gases with about 10 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents per year.

Project 1 (Örjan Berglund), solar cell system and batteries at the experimental fields at Bälinge mossar. Department of Soil and Environment.
Project 8 (Fredrik Södersten), installation of cooler for the electron microscope at the VH Faculty. Department of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health.

The SLU climate fund helps finance projects aimed at reducing SLU’s emission of greenhouse gases. Payments are made twice a year, and the decision on which projects to fund is taken by the vice-chancellor based on a proposal from the climate fund’s steering group. The first payment from the climate fund was of SEK 130,000 in total. The next application round will take place in the autumn 2016.
