The Education Authority’s estate covers all of Northern Ireland and comprises more than 200 premises, 2,000 schools, nearly 600 school meals’ kitchens and a fleet of more than 1,000 vehicles. Addressing climate change is a strategic priority and a key objective in meeting the requirements of the Climate Change Act NI 2022.

The EA has been awarded £225,000 to undertake an SBRI research project to assess the technical feasibility of solutions that can capture, baseline, track and report on carbon emissions across the EA’s estate.

The competition is open to all organisations in the EU and UK and Phase 1 will run from September 2022-March 31 2023.

This free to attend session will provide information on the SBRI programme in Northern Ireland, the EA’s project and how to apply.
