RPI's GHG Emissions Overview: Scope 1, 2, and 3 Insights

DESCRIPTION

This presentation from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute outlines the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide (MTeCO2). It categorizes emissions into Scope 1 (direct campus activities), Scope 2 (utility production outside the institution), and Scope 3 (indirect activities). For fiscal year 2008, total gross emissions reached 52,636 MTeCO2, with a net of 50,555 MTeCO2. The report compares RPI's emissions against benchmarks from peer institutions, highlighting the performance and carbon footprint reduction strategies implemented, particularly in energy sources used.
