Case study from Cranfield University - research and development highly commended
The Carbon Brainprint
The Carbon Brainprint project developed a robust lifecycle-based methodology for quantifying the carbon brainprint of research and training. It was tested using six case studies from three universities related to research and innovation, training, and influencing behaviour. The carbon brainprint of three projects undertaken by Cranfield that already deliver emission reductions was 50 times the carbon footprint of the University.
