"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Has the institution conducted a GHG emissions inventory within the previous three years that includes all Scope 1 and 2 emissions? :
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:

Corresponding to the methodology proposed by the ISO 14064 standard, scopes 1, 2 and 3 are calculated.


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:

An audit was carried out to verify the traceability of the calculated carbon footprint data.


Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
Weight in MTCO2e
Stationary combustion 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Other sources (mobile combustion, process emissions, fugitive emissions) 38.24 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
38.24 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year (market-based):
Weight in MTCO2e
Imported electricity 305.76 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Imported thermal energy 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year:

Business travel Yes 280.85 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Commuting Yes 2.81 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Purchased goods and services No 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Capital goods No 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Waste generated in operations Yes 189.90 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Other sources No 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total Scope 3 GHG emissions, performance year:
473.56 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:

CES University quantifies emissions related to taxi and air travel. These emissions correspond to 34.69% of the GHG inventory.

For trips by taxi, the values where the routes of the staff for trips related to the university are recorded are used and an emission factor defined by a study carried out by the AMVA for trips in public service is selected, which is concluded to be adequate to quantify these emissions.

For air travel, the ICAO calculator and the data provided by the travel agency are used, which are crossed with the expenses incurred by the University for this item.

For the reported emissions, no material discrepancies were found and the results are accurate, transparent and cover all relevant emission sources in the organization.


Has the institution completed an inventory within the previous three years to quantify its air pollutant emissions?:
No

Carbon monoxide (CO) ---
Particulate matter (PM) ---
Ozone (O3) ---
Lead (Pb) ---
Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) ---

Do the air pollutant emissions figures provided include the following sources?:
Yes or No
Major stationary sources Yes
Area sources Yes
Mobile sources Yes
Commuting Yes
Off-site electricity production Yes

A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:

The organization reports the following emissions in this category:

Fuel and diesel power plant

These emissions correspond to 2.15% of the total inventory and 5.11% of direct and indirect emissions. The information management system, the data used in the price used and delivered by the supplier, the data used to determine the amounts in gallons for the calculation of emissions and the emission factors for the activity data and the calculation by sources were verified. fixed.


Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity (location-based):
305.76 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported thermal energy (location-based) :
0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
