Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In 2001, the State of California created the nonprofit California Climate Action Registry (CCAR) to facilitate the voluntary accounting and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions within the state. CCAR stopped collecting emissions inventories in 2010 and transitioned its membership to the Climate Registry (TCR), a nonprofit emissions registry for North America.
The CCAR General Reporting Protocol required filing of Scope I & II emissions with independent third party verification, and encouraged participants to file inventories of Scope III emissions as well. Stanford joined the CCAR in 2006 and used this protocol to prepare and file its GHG emission inventories through 2009. In 2010, Stanford transitioned to TCR protocol for its emissions inventory, and third party verification is complete.
Although Stanford did not participate in a third-party verified GHG inventory in 2005, the trends have been well established back to 1990 as shown in the Energy & Climate Plan. Data from the Energy & Climate Plan trend charts was used for the 2005 emissions inventory number in this credit.
