Delft University Of Technology

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, operating within the Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools sector, has reported its carbon emissions.

For the year 2023, TU Delft's total emissions were approximately 121.9 million kg CO2e. This comprised of Scope 1 emissions of about 9.8 million kg CO2e from stationary combustion, Scope 2 emissions totalling approximately 14.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 98.3 million kg CO2e. Key contributors within Scope 3 included employee commute (approximately 6.6 million kg CO2e) and waste generated in operations (about 0.8 million kg CO2e).

In 2022, the university's total emissions were approximately 166.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 11.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 16.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 138.4 million kg CO2e.

Looking back to 2021, TU Delft reported total emissions of roughly 169.2 million kg CO2e, including Scope 1 of approximately 18.2 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 of about 13.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 of around 141.4 million kg CO2e. In 2020, total emissions stood at approximately 174.4 million kg CO2e (Scope 1: 16.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2: 17.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 140.2 million kg CO2e). For 2019, total emissions were around 162.6 million kg CO2e (Scope 1: 17.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2: 18.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 127 million kg CO2e).

TU Delft has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its direct (Scope 1) emissions, which have decreased by an average of 13% annually since 2019, reaching approximately 9.8 million kg CO2e in 2023. The university's reporting covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, though specific data points for certain Scope 3 categories, such as purchased goods and services, were noted as missing in their reporting.
