Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Emissions from UI Hospitals and Clinics are included; it is impossible to separate these figures from Main Campus emissions. At this time, the Clean Air/Cool Planet protocol does not allow reporting of biogenic CO2 emissions reductions derived from oat hulls. The University of Iowa has been using oat hulls as a biomass fuel since 2003.
