Chalmers University of Technology

Chalmers University of Technology reported total emissions of approximately 34.27 billion kg CO2e in 2020. This figure is cascaded from its parent organization, Chalmers Tekniska HÖGskola Aktiebolag.

In 2020, Chalmers University of Technology's Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile and stationary combustion, totalled 40 million kg CO2e (33 million kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 7 million kg CO2e from stationary combustion). Scope 2 emissions accounted for 74 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 34.16 billion kg CO2e, with the largest contributors being use of sold products (34 billion kg CO2e), downstream transportation and distribution (112 million kg CO2e), employee commute (30 million kg CO2e), and business travel (17 million kg CO2e). The university has not disclosed data for Scope 3 purchased goods and services for this period.

Chalmers University of Technology has set ambitious climate commitments. The institution aims for approximately a 70% reduction in all Scope emissions by 2030, with a long-term goal of achieving close-to-zero emissions by 2045. These targets were documented in 2023.
