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:

The combusted fuels are estimated to be GHG emissions based on EIA emissions factors; Purchased electricity is estimated to be GHG emissions based on EPA E-grid for O‘ahu.

FY20-21 Data for Purchased Electricity, Dispensed Diesel Fuel, and Dispensed Gasoline Fuel were compiled by the UH System Office of Sustainability, and GHG inventories were calculated utilizing tools provided by the UH Mānoa Institute for Sustainability & Resilience to calculate the campus GHG inventory for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.


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?:
No

A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
---

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) 16 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

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

Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year (market-based):
Weight in MTCO2e
Imported electricity 2,649 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Imported thermal energy 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year:
2,649 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Gross GHG emissions from biogenic sources, performance year:

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Scope 1: The weight of other sources (mobile combustion, process emissions, fugitive emissions) comes from the Motor gasoline emissions since there is no diesel emission from HonCC.
There are no stationary combustion emission sources on the HonCC campus.

Scope 2: There is imported thermal energy on the HonCC campus.

Not Pursuing Scope 3.
