Al-Bayan University is committed to reducing its environmental impact by minimizing reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources, such as coal and oil, and actively pursuing investments in sustainable energy solutions. This policy outlines the university’s commitment to divesting from high-carbon energy industries and promoting renewable and efficient energy solutions within campus operations.
- Renewable Energy Initiatives
The university has invested in a 5 kW solar power system as a foundational step toward renewable energy integration. This solar system reduces the campus’s dependence on non-renewable energy sources and reflects our commitment to cleaner energy alternatives.
