Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The data is in fiscal years, with a performance year of 2011. Scope 1 data includes on-campus stationary sources, direct transportation, and refrigerants. It does not include agriculture sources for the baseline year of 2005, as the data set was incomplete for 2005. Scope 2 includes all purchased sources.
The University participated in the Chicago Climate Exchange and has kept records of its emissions reductions since the program's inception in 2003. Within its Scope 1 on-campus emissions sources, the U reduced emissions approximately 30% from its 2002 baseline to 2005. The majority of this reduction is a product of a more efficient steam and chiller plant installed on the St. Paul campus that utilized natural gas rather than coal.
