The Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) Green Campus is a unique research and educational environment, where the university's expertise in energy as well as its own innovations are put to practical use. This allows us to set an example on how science and technology can be used to solve environmental problems. On the Green Campus, we can build a world the way we think it should be.
The Lappeenranta University of Technology Green Campus project shows how science and technology can be used to solve environmental problems and build a sustainable world. When we apply university innovations and use them on our own campus, we are setting a trend as well as example for future urban planning.

Clean water from electrical discharges
LUT Chemistry researchers have developed a water purification system, in which electrical discharges are used to remove soluble impurities, pharmaceutical traces and poisons from water. The method is at least three times more energy-efficient than other advanced oxidation processes, thus making it suitable for application in remote areas.

Energy-efficiency and savings for pumping
Worldwide, pumping consumes approximately one-fifth of the energy required for electrical motors; in certain industries, this figure exceeds 50%. Improving the efficiency of industrial and public utility pumping processes can have a significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions as well as industrial costs and competitiveness.
