Mobility & Co2
Measuring Co2 emissions at HZ
In 2015 and in 2019 we measured the Co2 emissions caused by HZ University of Applied Sciences. Both Co2-scans were done by International Business students, who graduated on this project. In 2019, about 77% of emissions are caused by students and employees travelling to and from HZ. This means that we can gain a lot by focusing on green mobility.

- E-Mobility ParkE-MOBILITY PARK: With this project, our goal is to encourage HZ employees to make use of the electronic cars that are located less than 5 minutes from the HZ. We do that by grabbing opportunities to inform the staff about the cars and the process from making the reservation to parking the car at the park after usage.
The linkage between this project and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that want to transform our world:
11. Sustainable Cities and Communities- Make cities and human settlements safe, resilient, and sustainable.
13. Climate Action- Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
17. Partnerships for the Goals- Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
