UVic has set out to reduce its carbon emissions by 50 per cent below their 2010 baseline by 2030, and reach net zero by 2040. In 2023, UVic’s carbon emissions were just under ten thousand tonnes (10 000 tCO2e). To reach this goal, UVic aims to replace the natural gas boilers in the district energy plant with electric ones.
