JIC Green Initiative Project (GIP) toward environment friendly college

In Jubail Industrial College (JIC) a team of engineers and researchers started to lay out what is known as Green Initiative Project (GIP). The main objective of this project is to implement renewable energy technology in our routine life. The project intends to touch many different aspects of life in the coastal Industrial City of Jubail. JIC is an educational organization located in a very vital region in the Middle East and near giant Petrochemical Industries in what is known as Jubail Industrial City. Our location in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia made us to lay the foundation and initiate a special project. The project of its kind is unique, which chiefly focuses on environment protection utilizing renewable energy technology. It enables us to become a role model to all the educational Institutions and Industries around the globe. A greener and pollution free atmosphere combined with hands on practical experience would lead us to utilize the power from the natural resources like wind and solar energy. This would strengthen the perception of future An electronic survey was conducted on GIP involving one hundred and forty (140) faculty and staff members. The feedback of nearly 90 % of the members is quite encouraging and supportive, later the project has become the pool of innovative ideas and project team were inquired about its details interestingly. Our team of members proposed to utilize solar energy which is very promising; we tried to gear three essential needs together, the need for parking lot, the need of shadow and the need of solar energy. We analysed the wind speed at different locations of coastal city Jubail and we found that renewable energy from wind is feasible in Jubail Industrial City in general. Bio-gas energy is to be produced from food and vegetable waste collected in JIC restaurants, canteens and dormitories as well as green grass clippings to generate a green fuel that is most friendly to our environment.
