Simplifying the Types of GHG Emissions All Expressed as Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MTCDE) This slide courtesy of CA-CP Scope 3: Indirect emissions including transportation, waste disposal, etc. Scope 1: Emissions from the direct activities of the campus Scope 2: Emissions from utility production not at the institution

Total Carbon Emissions– 24,187 MTCDE in FY2009

Growth in gross emissions tracks closely with added space GSF (In Millions) Total GHG Emissions by Scope

Utilities – the major GHG Contributors

Despite spike in FY08, longitudinal natural gas consumption steady MMBTUs Fossil Fuel Total Carbon Emissions: 5,208 MTCDE - 21% of ’09 Total GSF (in Millions) Natural Gas Consumption

Natural gas consumption puts Pacific near peer averages

Growth in electricity consumption with new space University of the Pacific has one of the cleanest grids among peers Electric Total Carbon Emissions: 9,164 MTCDE - 38% of ’09 Total GSF (in Millions) Electricity Consumption

Comparing cleanliness of all regional electricity grids MTCDE by Grid Operator MTCDE/1M kWh

Regional grid has large impact on Scope 2 emissions If Pacific were in Colorado, Scope 2 emissions would be over 150% higher

Electricity consumption highest among peers Relatively clean grid brings emissions closer to peer levels

Measuring emissions by density puts Pacific above peers

Emissions by density reflect database trends

Concluding thoughts I.Strengthening the Inventory: Total emissions are lower than peers but this may partially be the result of better tracking of data at peer institutions. Continued implementation of tracking mechanisms can help assure more accurate reporting. II.Monitoring Current Trends: University of the Pacific benefits from one of the cleanest electricity grids in the country; however, total electricity usage is the highest among peer schools. At 38%, electricity consumption makes up the largest part of University of the Pacific’s GHG emissions. III.Campus Density Impacts Emissions: When measuring emissions on a “per student” basis, University of the Pacific is higher than peers, due to a low campus density.
