Edinburgh Napier University

Edinburgh Napier University's carbon emissions data for 2023 indicates a total of approximately 5.23 million kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1 emissions of about 2.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 1.23 million kg CO2e. The university has reported on all three scopes for this year, although certain Scope 3 categories, including purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute, have missing data points.

In previous years, specific emissions data in the requested format is not available. However, for 2021, the university reported electricity emissions of approximately 1.20 million tonnes CO2e, F-Gas emissions of about 48,500 tonnes CO2e, and business travel emissions of roughly 35,200 tonnes CO2e. For 2020, electricity emissions were around 1.55 million tonnes CO2e, F-Gas emissions approximately 51,200 tonnes CO2e, and business travel emissions approximately 1.09 million tonnes CO2e. In 2019, electricity emissions were reported at approximately 2.09 million tonnes CO2e, waste emissions at about 7,700 tonnes CO2e, and business travel emissions at roughly 2.46 million tonnes CO2e. For 2018, electricity emissions were approximately 2.47 million tonnes CO2e, waste emissions about 9,000 tonnes CO2e, and business travel emissions around 2.73 million tonnes CO2e.

Edinburgh Napier University's commitment to climate action is outlined in its Environmental Sustainability Strategy, which guides its efforts to reduce its environmental impact. While specific reduction targets and achievements are not detailed in the provided data, the university actively reports on its environmental performance.
