Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased | 3,185 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 700 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon storage from on-site composting | 10 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon storage from non-additional sequestration | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | --- |
Carbon sold or transferred | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Net carbon sinks | 3,195 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 700 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
If total performance year carbon sinks are greater than zero, provide:
The institution annually purchases market-based RECs to offset the entirety of our electricity use (scope 2 emissions) each year. Additionally, the institution purchases market-based carbon offsets to offset our scope 1 and scope 3 carbon emissions - including commuting, airline travel and some purchased goods, to the extent we are able to quantify those emissions.
Offsets:
Bear Creek Watershed Forest Carbon Project - vendor: terrapass, contract: 154688 Time: April 2019
On-site composting: carbon storage resulting from on-site composting includes all landscape material removed from campus which is composted on a campus. Material is weight is estimated based on the average weight of a cubic yard and the holding capacity of the carbon storage system. Out-going materials are weighed. This on-site carbon storage is not verified by a third-party but is estimated using the climate carbon calculator.
