There are multiple target years included in its GHG emissions: 2014, 2020, and 2050.
UC Davis is already meeting a policy requirement target for 2014 of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 2000 levels. UC Davis has reduced total annual GHG emissions since 2000. In 2000, GHG emissions totaled 245,800 MTCO2e. In 2009, GHG emissions totaled 234,800 MTCO2e, a 4.5% decline. This decline is due to several factors: 1) the purchased electricity supply has included more renewable energy sourcing since 2000; 2) the campus has devoted significant effort towards energy conservation retrofits and recommissioning; 3) the campus has been able to reduce the amount of natural gas burned in a cogeneration plant.
