Other Emissions Sources
REDUCTION GOAL: By 2012, begin to measure and reduce where possible emissions
from sources not included in the scope of the ACUPCC.
| FY07 | FY08 | FY09 | FY10 | FY12 Target |
Goal Overview
The ACUPCC does not require signatories to report on or mitigate emissions from a number of emissions sources. These include emissions from:
- Water treatment and distribution
- Lifecycle of purchased goods
- Construction
- Long‐distance student travel
While not required by the ACUPCC to measure or mitigate these emissions, they are potentially significant and OSU may be required to measure – and in some cases mitigate – them in the future. While these requirements are not expected in the near
future, OSU will attempt to measure these emissions where practical and mitigate them as appropriate.
Progress Summary
| General Strategies for Other Emissions Sources |
Implementation Period | FY10 Progress | Estimated FY10 Reduction |
| 1: Make current process more efficient | |||
| 2: Reduce demand | |||
| 3: Lessen climate impact of emissions source | |||
| 4: Offset remaining emissions |
