Gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions:

	Performance year	Baseline year
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from stationary combustion	39,991 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	34,983 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent Date Revised: April 29, 2020 Utah State University requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 27832 Metric Tons of CO2 Equivalent Explanation: 34,983 MTCO2 (672,693 Decatherms). The GHG inventory is switching departments. The new person calculating these numbers requested we update these in STARS.
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources	10,365.80 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	7,193.90 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported electricity	17,235 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent Date Revised: April 29, 2020 Utah State University requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 12537 Metric Tons of CO2 Equivalent Explanation: New Value: 17,235 MTCO2 (32,545,980 kWh). The GHG inventory is switching departments. The new person calculating these numbers requested we update these in STARS.	31,608 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent Date Revised: April 29, 2020 Utah State University requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 27491 Metric Tons of CO2 Equivalent Explanation: 31,608 MTCO2 (56,043,534 kWh). The GHG inventory is switching departments. The new person calculating these numbers requested we update these in STARS.
