What is carbon footprint?-total amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions by an organization.

-measure of impact of activities on the environment, in particular climate change.

-relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced through burning fossil fuless for electricity, heating, and transportation etc.

What GHG Gases are measured?

1. Carbon Dioxide

2. Methane

3. Nitrous Oxide

4. Hydrofluorocarbons

5. Perfluorocarbons

6. Sulfur Hexaflouride

What is our Carbon Footprint Emission Scope?

Scope 1 – Direct Emissions

Scope 2 – Indirect Emissions

Scope 3 – Other Indirect Emissions

Five Carbon Footprint Reporting Principles

1. Relevance

2. Completeness

3. Consistency

4. Accuracy

5. Transparency

CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH

A Journey to Carbon Footprint Reduction

1. Form/Update Stakeholder Group

2. GHG Inventory

3. Develop Strategic Climate Action Plan

4. Identify Resource Investments

5. Implement a Tactical Plan

1. The Stakeholder Group

1. Strategic Administrative Partner - RBV, RCF, BTD, GCG & Trustees

2. Sustainability Director & Committee Members -RBV, BTD, RRubielos, GTeodoro, ASoriano,

DDC,RSantiago, KDeCastro, et al.

3. Communicator and Motivator- IT & Corp Comm (BCo and AOnte)

4. Academic Liaison & Support Staff - Deans, FAMIT, OSA & Students, MITLU, GAMSI, BSA

2. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory

MIT’s Carbon Footprint from Stationary Combustion Sources

Scope 1

-Direct Emissions from Gensets & Boilers(emissions factor = 2.68 kg Co2/liter - SEI 2008)

2010 9,763 kg CO2

2011 10,031 kg CO2

2012 14,091 kg CO2

MIT’s Carbon Footprint from Service Fleet

Scope 1

-Direct Emissions from Service Fleet[emission factor – source SEI 2008, DEFRA 2008]

2010 1,006 kg CO2

2011 9,212 kg CO2

2012 8,718 kg CO2

Mga ilang paalala:1. Isara ang exhaust fans ng toilet kapag walang

gumagamit.

2. Magtipid pa tayo sa tubig.

3. Magbawas ng ilaw kung maari kapag nagwawalis ng classroom.

4. I-adjust ang AC tuwing tag-lamig/tag-ulan.

Look beyond the money

MIT’s Carbon Footprint from Purchased Electricity

Scope 2

-Indirect Emissions from Purchased Electricity(emissions factor = 0.667 Luzon Grid Emission Factor)

2010 2,462,630 ton CO2

2011 2,354,109 ton CO2 (4% Reduction)

2012 2,118,698 ton CO2 (10% Reduction)

Proposed MIT’s Strategic Climate Action Plan

1.MIT’s Environment, Health and Safety Policy

2.LEED and GREEEN standards or minimum equivalent for buildings

3.Energy-efficient (ENERGY STAR) lab equipment, tools and appliances

4.10% of MIT’s Electricity - from renewable resources

5.Reduce MIT’s solid and food waste

6.Committee to enhance use of facilities and curricular offerings with construction as the last resort.

7.Enhancing performance of existing buildings (e.g. window shading, double glazing, green wall, etc.)

8. Promote energy conservation awareness and outreach programs.

9. *Metering technologies -accurate picture of the full campus carbon footprint.

10. Investment in personnel

11. Greening curriculum and research of other non-engineering programs.

12. Reduce carbon footprint by 50% in 2025.
