Hochschule Reutlingen

Reutlingen University's 2022 carbon emissions totalled approximately 4.5 million kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 11,068 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 1.02 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 3.47 million kg CO2e.

Looking back, their total emissions were about 4.63 million kg CO2e in 2021, 4.58 million kg CO2e in 2020, and approximately 5.59 million kg CO2e in 2019. These figures indicate a general downward trend in overall emissions from 2019 to 2022, though there was a slight increase from 2020 to 2021.

Specific emissions data for 2022 shows Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion at 4,299 kg CO2e and stationary combustion at 6,769 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions were primarily driven by purchased steam at 1,015,884 kg CO2e, with purchased electricity contributing 853 kg CO2e. Significant Scope 3 contributors include downstream transportation and distribution (2,661,563 kg CO2e), upstream leased assets (733,483 kg CO2e), and employee commuting (269,791 kg CO2e).

As an educational institution in Germany, Hochschule Reutlingen provides its own emissions data and does not cascade this information from a parent organisation. The university has also reported production emission factors, such as about 151 kg CO2e per square metre of usable space in 2022.
