University research outputs have been leaning on renewable and sustainable energy utilization.

RTU has been using solar energy, initially, installed solar panels on the roof of the university gymnasium. The university sustained its electricity needs by relying on solar panels and is keen on completely employing them as its contribution to lessening the impact of climate change.

Utilization of solar panels in all academic buildings has been a pipeline project of engineering faculty researchers.

The university’s “Astronomical Near-Earth Observation: Light Pollution (ANEO-LiPo)” project plays a critical role in studying light pollution and its impact on energy consumption, contributing to efforts aimed at optimizing energy use and promoting environmental sustainability. By raising awareness of light pollution, RTU encourages the adoption of energy-efficient lighting solutions that reduce unnecessary energy consumption. In parallel, RTU’s “Solar-Powered Automated Modular Mushroom Growing House” exemplifies the university’s commitment to renewable energy solutions. This project utilizes solar power to run an automated system for mushroom cultivation, providing a sustainable energy model that reduces reliance on traditional power sources while promoting agricultural productivity. Together, these initiatives demonstrate RTU’s proactive approach to promoting clean, affordable energy solutions that contribute to environmental sustainability and economic development, aligning with global efforts to transition to renewable energy sources.
