HU will conduct energy management and research and development with the goal of reducing CO₂ emissions by 70% compared to AY2013 levels. The initiative will be carried out using the HU campus as a demonstration site and will be promoted with the cooperation of local governments and partner companies.combat climate change and its impacts.” HU has been highly praised for its efforts to increase the use of low-carbon energy, based on the “Toward 2030 Hiroshima University Carbon Neutrality ~Road to 2030~: Action Plan (2022-2027).” In this ranking, HU ranked within the top 100 in the world in seven of the 17 SDGs, which is the largest number in Japan.Industry, academia and government come together to aim for carbon neutralityLaunch of “Electric vehicle (EV) car sharing and energy management project”As part of the industry-academia-government-private sector collaboration within the Hiroshima University Smart City Co-Creation Consortium, we have been carrying out the “Electric vehicle (EV) car sharing and energy management project” since March 2024. This project combines the use of renewable energy with the provision of mobility and is a unique initiative that also involves student participation and the use of data through the TGO app.HU will use its official EV vehicles and electric vehicle (EV) car sharing vehicles, which have zero CO₂ emissions, as a means of convenient transportation while establishing a charging and discharging energy network that utilizes the EVs’ large-capacity batteries as storage batteries when parked. HU will also develop advanced renewable energy management, coordinating with energy resources distributed around the campus and solar power generation equipment. Furthermore, by strengthening resilience in the event of a disaster and utilizing electric vehicle (EV) car sharing, we are working to increase students’ awareness of their role in achieving carbon neutrality and to raise awareness throughout the university.In July, we launched an EV subscription service for faculty and staff. We are working to promote the switch to EVs so as to achieve full-scale adoption of EVs in the future, with the intent of achieving carbon neutrality, including during the commute to work and school.HU ranks 3rd among Japanese universities in THE’s Impact Rankings 2024In terms of the number of SDGs (7) that are ranked within the top 100 in the world, HU undisputedly ranks number one in Japan!HU is steadily working on energy management, research promotion, and human resource development with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. As a result of these efforts, in the “THE Impact Rankings 2024” published in June 2024 by the British higher education magazine Times Higher Education, HU was the only university in Japan to be ranked within the top 100 in the world (54th) for SDG 13 “Take urgent action to
