Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory
Yes
A copy of the most recent GHG emissions inventory:
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
The greenhouse gas emissions inventory was completed using the UNH Sustainability Institute "SIMAP" tool.
Has the GHG emissions inventory been validated internally by personnel who are independent of the GHG accounting and reporting process and/or verified by an independent, external third party?:
Yes
A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
GHG inventory was verified by Anthony "Tony" Gillund, Director of Sustainability, Purdue University
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:

A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
IU is investigating how best to address Scope 3 emissions. The emissions reported for FY22 are the fuel and energy related emissions from Scope 1 fuels and Transportation & Distribution Loss emissions from purchased electricity.
Part 2. Air pollutant emissions inventory
Yes
Annual weight of emissions for::
Weight of Emissions | |
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) | 70.58 Tons |
Sulfur oxides (SOx) | 98.85 Tons |
Carbon monoxide (CO) | 65.54 Tons |
Particulate matter (PM) | 9.34 Tons |
Ozone (O3) | --- |
Lead (Pb) | 0.01 Tons |
Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) | 1.27 Tons |
Ozone-depleting compounds (ODCs) | --- |
Other standard categories of air emissions identified in permits and/or regulations | 3.92 Tons |
Do the air pollutant emissions figures provided include the following sources?:
Yes or No | |
Major stationary sources | Yes |
Area sources | No |
Mobile sources | No |
Commuting | No |
Off-site electricity production | No |
None
A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
These values correspond with calendar year 2022 rather than fiscal year 2022 (different from the rest of this report is) as IU's air permitting numbers are reported to the State on an calendar-year basis.
"PM" is calculated as total PM.
"Other" emissions are VOCs (3.6052) and NH3 (0.3118).
The air emissions inventory is calculated in concordance with IDEM regulations.
