This report presents an analysis of Eastern State University's (ECSU) carbon emissions, focusing on direct and indirect emissions from campus activities. It includes a benchmarking framework comparing ECSU's performance with other US institutions, detailing the sources of emissions such as stationary operations, fleet fuel, and purchased electricity. Additionally, the report highlights sustainability practices, engagement levels among member institutions of the Go Green Measurement Alliance, and the commitment to offsetting emissions through strategies like composting and renewable energy credits.

A vocabulary for measurement Go-Green Measurement, Benchmarking and Analysis • Emissions from the direct activities of the campus. • “Stationary” • Fleet Fuel • Fuel Oil • Natural Gas • Refrigerants • Upstream missions from utility production not at the institution. • “Upstream Emissions” • Purchased Electric • Indirect emissions including transportation, waste disposal, etc. • “Indirect Emissions” • Study Abroad • Commuting • Wastewater • Recycled Paper • Solid Waste • Construction Debris • The use of composting, forest preservation and/or the purchasing of REC’s to offset campus emissions. Primary Emissions Ancillary Emissions Excluded Emissions from CT System Carbon Analysis: Scope #1- Fleet fuel, Refrigerants, Fertilizer Scope #2- None Scope #3- All emissions Offsets- All offsets
Carbon Intensity of Commonly Used Fuels Natural gas is the least carbon intense of fossil fuels, biomass even less Used at ECSU
Gross Emissions Scope 1 is Fossil, Scope 2 is Electric
