Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions
Gross GHG emissions
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from stationary combustion | 15,000 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 20,296 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources | 604 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 530 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported electricity | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 19,880.10 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported thermal energy | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Total | 15,604 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 40,706.10 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon sinks
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon storage from on-site composting | 19.57 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 16 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon storage from non-additional sequestration | 6,919 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon sold or transferred | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Net carbon sinks | 19.57 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 16 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
If total performance year carbon sinks are greater than zero, provide:
Are two carbon sinks are compost and non-additional sequestration. Composting is done campus wide and is managed on campus. The non-additional sequestration is based off our managed forest.

A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
We completed our first greenhouse gas inventory in 2007, with a report written to summarize the inventory.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person
Weighted campus users
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Number of students resident on-site | 3,277 | 3,211 |
Number of employees resident on-site | 13 | 0 |
Number of other individuals resident on-site | 0 | 0 |
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 7,059 | 8,165 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 1,075 | 1,001 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 1,343 | 0 |
Weighted Campus Users | 5,915.75 | 7,677.25 |
Metrics used in scoring for Part 1
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user | 2.63 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 5.30 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |

A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
We have participated and marketed a variety of initiatives along these lines. On a campus level we've gone through a large campus energy conservation program and our in the middle of the 2nd phase of this. We have promoted #energy Action Month" in October to help highlight individual ability to minimize energy use on campus and at home. Additionally, through the use of updated technologies (LEDs, more efficient computers) we've been able to reduce our electrical consumption in various buildings. The GROW program mentioned in other areas of this submission also help encourage energy conservation via eco-friendly office habits and processes. We've also been able to shift some of our transportation needs to remote friendly options, reducing the use of fuel and air mileage relatively. Finally, over the last few years we have phased out the use of coal, refrigerants and only use certain oils for heating when absolutely needed. Meaning our heating during the colder months is free of coal entirely.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
We procure RECS to offset our Scope 2 emissions, meaning UWSP has 100% of electricity come from renewable sources.
