Abstract
In fiscal year 2019 UGA activities were responsible for 287,771 tonnes (aka “metric tons” or 1,000 kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) gross emissions. This is a 20% reduction from FY2010. The emissions sources are mostly Athens-based with the exception of electricity and heating fuels, which include relatively small amounts from the Griffin and Tifton campuses, and agriculture, which occurs statewide. The 2019 Summary includes a breakdown of emissions by source: Electricity (55%), Heating Fuels (19.7%), Employee Commute (5.45%), Student Commute (1.2%), Study Abroad Travel (6.7%), Employee Travel (7%), UGA Fleet (2%), Refrigerants (1.2%), and Agriculture (1%), as well as CO2 offsets from Solar, Solid Waste (methane capture) and Timber.
