GHG 2024

The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa (UOWA) maintains a formal and integrated process for carbon management and reduction of CO₂ emissions, covering direct, indirect, and associated activities across campus operations.

Emission Inventory & Governance

In 2024, UOWA’s carbon accounting process recorded total emissions of 724 tonnes of CO₂, broken down as follows:

  • Scope 1 (Direct emissions): 485 t CO₂ (67%) — from university-owned fuel use (generators, on-site fuel).

  • Scope 2 (Purchased electricity): 113 t CO₂ (16%) — from grid electricity consumption. 

  • Scope 3 (Indirect / related activities): 126 t CO₂ (17%) — travel, off-campus operations, etc.
    UOWA calculates per capita emissions at ~0.08 t CO₂ per person (with an approximate community size of 9,000).

Mitigation Strategies & Action Plans

UOWA actively pursues a range of strategies to reduce emissions and embed carbon management into daily operations:

  • Renewable Energy Expansion
    The campus is accelerating installation of solar PV capacity (11,000 kW) to replace a portion of electricity drawn from the grid. 

  • Efficient Transportation Practices
    Implementation of carpooling, shuttle services, and reduced on-campus parking is designed to lower emissions from vehicles.

  • Digitalization & Remote Options
    UOWA encourages virtual learning, remote meetings, and online exams to limit travel and reduce indirect emissions.

  • Campus Behavior & Carbon Awareness
    Initiatives such as grouped food deliveries, tree planting programs, and encouraging sustainable clothing policies contribute modest but meaningful reductions in emissions. 

Continuous Improvement

UOWA’s carbon management is not static — it is structured as a cyclical process:

  • Regular update of the GHG inventory and emissions tracking (Scopes 1, 2, 3).

  • Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation strategies.

  • Publishing and reviewing results annually to guide further policy and investment.
