The Australian National University

The Australian National University, an education services provider headquartered in Australia, reported its latest emissions data for 2025. Total carbon emissions were approximately 251,578,000 kg CO2e. This included about 15,421,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which covers direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the university. Scope 2 emissions, stemming from purchased electricity, heat, or steam, amounted to an estimated 1,807,890 kg CO2e (market-based) or 67,986,000 kg CO2e (location-based). Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the university's value chain, were approximately 168,171,000 kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 included investments (about 46,859,000 kg CO2e), capital goods (approximately 18,945,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (about 37,832,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (roughly 32,523,000 kg CO2e).

In the preceding year, 2024, the university reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 14,332,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 71,910,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 444,598,000 kg CO2e.

While specific emission reduction targets were not disclosed in the provided data, the university actively reports its carbon footprint across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency regarding its environmental impact.
