13.2.1 Low Carbon Energy Tracking

IGU regularly monitors and reports all energy sources used on its campuses. Electricity, natural gas, and diesel consumption data are monitored monthly, and measurements are taken to calculate carbon emissions. This monitoring has become a key tool in implementing sustainability strategies and increasing low-carbon energy use.

Thanks to the energy management system, energy consumption across the campus is regularly monitored, and efficiency-enhancing practices (automatic lighting, energy-saving appliances, insulation reinforcement, etc.) are implemented.

IGU presents these monitoring results to the public through its annual SDG 7: Accessible and Clean Energy reports. Previous SDG 7 reports can be accessed via the link below:

13.2.2 Low Carbon Energy Use
 

In 2024, IGU's energy usage data were as follows:
 

• Total energy consumption: 24.865.0 GJ

• Low-carbon energy consumption: 16.284.3 GJ

• Low-carbon energy ratio: 65,5%

In the coming period, IGU aims to expand renewable energy investments, encourage low-carbon practices, and implement new projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to further increase energy efficiency. Table 2 shows energy consumption data for 2024.

Table 2 – Energy Usage Data



These data show that more than two-thirds of the university's total energy consumption comes from low-carbon sources. This clearly demonstrates the impact of investments made in energy efficiency in line with sustainability goals.
