Título: CAMPUS AS A LIVING LAB
Descripción automática: In this video, a professor in chemical and biological engineering at a university in Vancouver, Canada, presents at a workshop in Valencia, discussing the university's campus as a living lab initiative focused on sustainability. The city, known for its mild climate and environmental activism, is home to the university, which integrates sustainability into its core functions of teaching and research. The institution, attracting nature-oriented and sustainability-conscious students, has surpassed its greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets for 2015 and aims for further reductions by 2020.
The professor highlights the university's commitment to sustainability, mentioning its greenhouse gas reduction achievements and describing a bioenergy research and demonstration facility. The facility employs a local technology to convert wood waste into energy, heating campus buildings. She also touches on a carbon tax in the province as a key driver for such projects.
The university's collaboration with local companies and the carbon tax reflects broader support for environmental initiatives that reduce GHG emissions. The professor illustrates the technical process of the facility, from delivery to gasification and energy production, emphasizing lessons learned from demonstration projects. The video aims to inform about the university's environmental efforts and the functionality of the living lab approach in an academic setting.
