GHG Emissions & Carbon Footprint
UOWA’s comprehensive GHG reduction strategy targets Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased energy), and Scope 3 (indirect) emissions, embedding sustainability into energy, mobility, and operations.
2024 Carbon Footprint:
· Total: 724 tonnes CO₂
o Scope 1: 485 t (67%) – Generators, on-site fuel
o Scope 2: 113 t (16%) – Purchased electricity
o Scope 3: 126 t (17%) – Travel, off-campus activities
· Per Capita: 0.08 tonnes CO₂ / person (population ~9,000)
Reduction Initiatives:
· Renewable Expansion: Solar PV (11,000 kW) replacing grid electricity.
· Efficient Transportation: Carpooling (Taxi Ameen), shuttle services, and reduced on-campus parking.
· Digital Learning Options: Online classes, remote meetings, and virtual exams cut travel-related emissions.
· Community Practices:
o Group food orders to reduce delivery trips.
o Uniform policy lowering fabric and clothing waste.
o Tree-planting for carbon sequestration.
Impact:
These actions integrate sustainability into daily life and operations, producing measurable emission reductions and promoting environmental awareness across campus.
