A brief summary of the climate plan’s short-term goals:
SOU proposes to reduce its Scope 1 emissions from 4,470 t CO2e in FY2008 to 3,886 t CO2 e in 2015. SOU proposes to reduce its Scope 2 emissions from 4,780 t CO2e in FY2008 to 4,360 t CO2 e in 2015. SOU proposes to reduce its Scope 3 emissions from 3,997 t CO2e in FY2008 to 3,778 t CO2 e in 2015. SOU will implement retro-commissioning, operations consolidation, and energy conservation projects over the next five years (2010-2015).
