GHG Inventory- Challenges and Opportunities Accounting No one-size-fits-all boundaries - organizational, operational, temporal Biogenic carbon – “carbon neutral” doesn’t mean emissions-free An ongoing dialogue: the “right” emissions factors for Scope 2 (and 3) Sinks – running the numbers on the other side of your carbon ledger Reporting Striving for consistency and clarity within an evolving accounting landscape Using public reporting programs to tell your story Leveraging Inventory as outreach platform – building that culture of sustainability Your campus as a “learning laboratory” Getting to zero through climate action planning

Accounting Boundaries - organizational and temporal Campus-owned housing? Separate centers or research institutes? Land holdings? How far back can you go with credible data?

Accounting Operational Boundaries Graphic courtesy of the World Resources Institute

Accounting Campus Operational Boundaries: some typical sources Scope 1 Scope 2 Purchased steam, electricity, or chilled water Scope 3 Benchmarking BudgetsSquare footageStudent/Faculty/Staff FTE’sResearch intensity On-campus stationary sourcesFertilizers Fleet vehicles (gallons or kWh)Animals RefrigerantsWastewater (if water treated on campus) Commuting emissionsWastewater Outsourced air travelPurchased paper Outsourced ground travelPurchased food TrashUpstream energy

Accounting Biogenic Carbon Plant based fuels do emit CO2; “neutral” on a lifecycle basis Accounting best practices require this to be reported, separately The intent is not to disincentivize use of biomass or biofuels, but to be scientifically accurate

Accounting Emissions Factors Choosing an emissions factor…

Accounting Sinks Forests, wetlands, soil Purchased RECs or offsets Created offsets: off-campus mitigation projects

Data Management and Reporting …When it’s not an “exact science” What is your goal? How are you documenting assumptions and opportunities to improve? How will you deal with results that change “retroactively”?

Reporting Inventory as a Citizenship Document Higher Education Climate Action Registry (AASHE/ACUPCC) The Climate Registry
