Carbon Reduction. Dundee and Angus College continue to make very good progress in meeting the carbon reduction targets set in the Carbon Management Plan for the 5 year period 2013-2018. A 15% reduction was the target by the end of 2018, and by 31st July 2016 had already achieved 14% of that target.

This means that all of the Arbroath campus heating and hot water is now provided via biomass. The additional 800kw biomass is expected to generate a further reduction in carbon emissions of 300 tonnes CO² / year due to the reduction in the use of natural gas. It will also generate Renewable Heat Incentive income of approximately £60k/year for the next 20 years.
