Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools has typical carbon intensity
The Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools industry has reduced its overall emissions by 22% since 2018
Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
Delft University of Technology, a Dutch institution within the Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools sector, reported its most recent Scope 1 emissions for 2024 as 8,800,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. Its Scope 3 emissions for the same year totalled 3,400,000 kg CO2e, comprising 2,000,000 kg CO2e from business travel and 1,400,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations. Notably, Scope 2 emissions data was not disclosed for 2024.
Looking back, the university's Scope 1 stationary combustion emissions have shown a downward trend, decreasing from 17,900,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 8,800,000 kg CO2e in 2024. This reduction is supported by an internal document noting that direct (Scope 1) emissions have, on average, decreased annually by 13% since 2019.
For 2023, Delft University of Technology reported Scope 1 emissions of 9,900,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion and Scope 3 emissions of 3,800,000 kg CO2e (3,000,000 kg CO2e from business travel and 800,000 kg CO2e from waste). In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were 11,800,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion, and Scope 3 emissions were 2,700,000 kg CO2e (2,000,000 kg CO2e from business travel and 700,000 kg CO2e from waste).
While the university consistently discloses Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions, data for Scope 2 emissions, Scope 3 purchased goods and services, and Scope 3 employee commute were not available across all reported years.
