Overview

The University of Danang - University of Science and Technology (UD-DUT) actively promotes the use of low-carbon and renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move toward a carbon-neutral campus.

1. Solar Photovoltaic Systems

• Total installed capacity: more than 56 kWp
• Average annual renewable electricity generation: approximately 82 MWh/year
• Share of total electricity consumption: 7–8%
• Estimated CO₂ reduction: over 142 tons since operation began

2. Energy Monitoring and Data Management

All systems are equipped with digital energy meters and an online data management platform that automatically records:

• Renewable electricity generated (kWh/year)
• Share of total campus energy use (%)
• CO₂ emissions avoided (tons/year)
• Cost savings from renewable energy use

Annual data reports are used by DUT’s Facility and Energy Management Unit to plan and evaluate the university’s transition toward carbon neutrality by 2045.

• Evidence of DUT – SolarBK system:

• Evidence of EPC Solar Vietnam system:

• Evidence of CRC Solar system:

3. Integration into Research and Education

• Solar energy data are incorporated into undergraduate and postgraduate courses on renewable energy, electrical engineering, and sustainable development.
• The systems are also used for student research projects on solar performance and energy efficiency.

4. Expansion within The University of Danang

The University of Danang - University of Technology and Education (UD-UTE) has also installed solar-powered streetlights across its campus to promote energy conservation and reduce carbon emissions.
