University emissions information

We're waiting for Theresa Shotton to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear University of York,

I am studying how Universities have reduced their CO2 emissions.

1) I have looked at the most recent 2018/19 Estates HESA data for “Table 3 - Emissions and waste” and field: “Total scope 1 and 2 emission baseline for 2005 (tonnes CO2e)”.

This field shows a total of 23,465 CO2e for the 2005 emission baseline.

2) However, York Universitiy’s Carbon 2011 Management Plan says that the 2005 baseline was 25,032.

3) A BriteGreen report from April 2014 also shows a figure of 25,032 CO2e.

Can the University please say which 2005 baseline figure is the correct CO2e figure and that this figure includes the 2011/12 onwards adjustment.

An adjustment was needed as an alternative Defra measure of equivalent carbon dioxide (C02e) was applied past 2011/12. This change accounts for additional Greenhouse Gases, including CH4 and N20 and not just CO2 pre 2011/12.

Yours faithfully,

Theresa Shotton
