Seven projects will be implemented with a total cost of 1.5 million euros as part of the "Energy Efficiency Improvement in University Buildings" project, which involves 18 Egyptian public universities under the supervision of the Supreme Council of Universities and funded by the German Development Bank (KFW). These projects are considered models that can be expanded in the future at Assiut University and will lead to a reduction in consumption by approximately 3.2 gigawatt hours.

• The green projects, which emerged from the Assiut University Green Initiative, were adopted, where two teams of students from the initiative won second and fourth place during their participation in the "ClimateThon" Global Conference organized by the Ministry of Environment in collaboration with the European Union and the German International Cooperation Agency in Egypt, held on October 30 and 31, 2023. The conference, titled "ClimateThon Upper Egypt – Towards Localizing Egypt's National Climate Strategy 2050," was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Menshawi, the university president, and Prof. Dr. Mahmoud Abdel-Aalim, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development. Assiut University's participation in the ClimateThon Upper Egypt event is part of the efforts to achieve sustainable development in line with Egypt's Vision 2030, by preserving the environment to improve quality of life and considering the rights of future generations, as well as implementing the National Climate Change Strategy 2050.

• The team (Eco-Fuel Innovators) won second place for their project on recycling solid agricultural waste, particularly rice straw, sorghum husks, and other agricultural residues that farmers burn, leading to harmful greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. The team includes: Shamous Abdel-Samia (Faculty of Science), Dina Jamal Abdel-Nasser (Faculty of Engineering), and Bola Fares Habib (Faculty of Engineering).

• The Eco-Fuel idea is based on recycling solid agricultural waste, specifically rice straw, sorghum husks, and other agricultural residues that farmers burn, which results in harmful greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. Using anaerobic bacteria and fermentation processes, these wastes are converted into biogas as the main product and other secondary products such as animal feed.

• The team (Blast-tech) also won fourth place for their project on extracting diesel fuel from plastic using pyrolysis and treatment processes to produce environmentally safe fuel, reduce carbon emissions from accumulated plastic waste, and mitigate climate change. The team members include: Youssef Mohamed (Faculty of Engineering), Nouran Alaa El-Din (Faculty of Agriculture), and Zainab Abdel-Mawla (Faculty of Medicine).

• Assiut University also encouraged one of the green project teams to implement the "Liquid Tree" project, which involves creating a container holding 600 liters of water, using microalgae to consume carbon dioxide and produce pure oxygen through photosynthesis. In this way, the liquid tree serves as a tangible and effective solution for reducing emissions and improving air quality in densely populated cities where green spaces may be limited.

• The Assiut University Green Initiative aims to raise environmental awareness among students and staff regarding sustainability, as well as to implement strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change for the benefit of our community.

The President of Assiut University announces the charter of “Assiut University and our green future” to preserve and protect the environment amidst a celebration and a large crowd.

Based on the measures taken by Assiut University in accordance with the electricity consumption rationalization program over the past years, and particularly in the last three years, carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions have been reduced. Considering that a reduction of 1 kWh decreases CO₂ emissions by 0.50 kg CO₂ equivalent, the details are as follows:

Due to the energy-saving measures, the electricity consumption for 2023 decreased by approximately 1.1 GWh compared to the consumption in 2022, which means a reduction in CO₂ emissions by 535 tons of CO₂ equivalent compared to 2022. This is the result of the actions taken by the university to rationalize energy consumption and improve its efficiency.

This reduction in CO₂ emissions in 2023 compared to 2022 occurred despite the full load of the Emergency and Accident Hospital being operational since July 2021 (see Annex 4-4-1).

A reduction of 3,478.0 tons of carbon equivalent was achieved due to the decrease in annual consumption in 2023 compared to 2019, despite the full operation of the Faculty of Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine hospitals in 2019, as well as the loads from the Faculties of Fine Arts and Kindergarten.

The annual revenue from carbon dioxide emission reduction certificates for 2023 increased by approximately 16,050.0 euros * compared to the value for 2019

Assiut University has an energy efficiency plan aimed at reducing overall energy consumption. This is exemplified by initiatives such as the "Improving Energy Efficiency in University Buildings" project, which is set to run from 2022 to 2026 and is funded by the German Development Bank (KfW). The project involves multiple renovation efforts across campus to enhance energy efficiency, aiming for a reduction in annual energy consumption by 7.5% compared to 2022 levels.

The university's strategy includes implementing energy management systems, adopting clean technologies, and increasing awareness among staff and students about energy conservation practices. Additionally, the establishment of renewable energy sources, such as solar power stations, further contributes to the university's commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint.

-The reduction in CO₂ emissions resulting from the annual consumption savings associated with the new projects is estimated at 1,600.0 tons of carbon equivalent (assuming that each 1 GWh reduces emissions by 500 tons of carbon equivalent).

-The value of the carbon credit earnings due to the additional annual reduction in CO₂ emissions from the new projects is 48,000.0 euros (1 ton of carbon equivalent valued at 30 euros).
