Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
1) We are continuing to use a Fiscal Year (FY) Reporting window so as to align with our Strategic Planning and Budgeting Schedules.
2) We are annotating our GHG emissions report this cycle to register the 'export' of steam to an adjacent regional hospital which represents 18% of the Scope 1 emissions previously attributable to the campus.
3) As of 26 November 2013, Ball State University has transferred 28,753 MT of 2011-12 Carbon Reduction Credits (CRCs) to the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) on behalf of the Chevrolet Carbon Reduction Initiative (CRI). These credits thereby are retired by Chevrolet on behalf of the climate and not claimed as credit against any other (industry-related) emissions.
As a result of this transaction, the 28,753 CRCs no longer apply to the target CRC reductions of Ball State University for the 2011-12 reporting period.
This transaction is a component of a three-year longitudinal study by BSU of the Voluntary Carbon Market and the related piloting of a new carbon-reduction verification methodology developed by the Carbon Neutral Business Network (CNBN); wherein BSU is evaluating: the protocols of that new verification methodology; best practices for accounting such transactions; and the means needed to publicly report such transactions through STARS and ACUPCC.
Once STARS issues other procedures for documenting such transfers, our Carbon Credit Reductions will be filed using that (new) public-reporting protocol.
