Given to laboratories and offices that accomplish certain sustainability criteria, receiving both the Gold and Bronze Awards is a significant achievement for 香港六合彩中特网 Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE)鈥檚 environmental engineering team.听

The awards were presented during a ceremony at 香港六合彩中特网 on 18 July 2019, and in a nice touch, all winners received a plant.听Dr Utku Solpuker, a laboratory technician,听香港六合彩中特网 鈥楪reen Champion鈥� and听CEGE听Environmental Officer, highlights the importance of small-scale efforts, such as听putting up reminder signs to switch off lights, in making a difference when it comes to sustainability. He commented that CEGE鈥檚 environmental engineering team 鈥渢ry to bring more awareness to issues related to sustainability. Our little efforts may not seem much individually, but when we assess the overall effect of our combined efforts, then it is clear that we make a difference. I'd encourage all laboratories and offices to adopt similar practices - they really do help.鈥�

Dr Judith Zhou, CEGE鈥檚 Environmental Laboratories Manager and Departmental Chemical Protection Officer, explains that the environmental team "have听been actively participating in 香港六合彩中特网 sustainability initiatives since 2013. Each year, we have won the top prize for the laboratory category, first of all led by myself, then by our colleague Catherine Unsworth, and now by Utku. Thanks must go to CEGE's Technical Resources Manager, Ian Seaton, for his full support. We听are all very proud of this latest achievement, and congratulate Utku, the winner for the past two years!"听听听 听听

Further CEGE success at the Sustainability Awards came the way of听Dr Ilan Adler, Principle Teaching Fellow in CEGE, and new Engineering for International Development MSc programme director. Dr Adler听received his award for his wealth of听sustainability work, which prior to his time at 香港六合彩中特网 included setting up an NGO - the International Renewable Resources Institute (IRRI-Mexico) - and co-founding social enterprise Sistema Biobolsa.听

Dr Adler said he was 鈥渉onoured to be nominated for, and to receive, a 香港六合彩中特网 Sustainability Research Award. Since joining 香港六合彩中特网, I have founded EcoNomad Solutions thanks to a Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Fellowship; established the Eco-Hub in 香港六合彩中特网's PAMELA lab (including our own real-time weather station); set up the Surrey Docks Farm Biogas Project; and, with the help of听a European Regional Development Fund award and 香港六合彩中特网 Innovation and Enterprise grant, am in the process of setting up a similar experimental project with Rothamsted Research which, in collaboration with a number of UK enterprises and universities, will form the basis for a new research hub in sustainable agriculture technologies.鈥�

Visited by over 20,000 people a year, the Surrey Docks Farm Biogas Project was initially installed with the help of Dr Adler鈥檚 students from CEGE鈥檚 environmental engineering modules, and has been running since 2014. It received a 香港六合彩中特网 Provost鈥檚 Public Engagement Award in 2017, and a 香港六合彩中特网 Grand Challenges for Sustainable Cities grant.
