Mike,

1. Suggest that we now need to get Nikki (Carbon Trust) to see herself as
having a stake in this project - so she sees this as a way of earning her
spurs - i.e. it's "her" project. She did offer help on the carbon audit
methodology side. Perhaps when you write to Mallaburn (acting CE) you also
copy her in, & see if she can come up on her own to give us advice. If the
VC is agreeable, I think it will be well worth mentioning that there will
be EEDA support. Getting Nikki up here will allow us to float the issue of
us needing to raise the extra above "basic" costs for new buildings in
order for to get into serious de-carbing - I suspect this will be better
done informally in the first instance in order for us to gauge reaction.
Might be good to invite Frans & Simon too.

2. You will have seen that I've started to see if we can get some MSc
students onto the scoping studies. Last night I suggested that some of the
Climate Change 3rd years might like to choose carbon-auditing as their
seminar topic, & gave them some sketchy background.
