Carbon Commitment
Race to Zero

Specific Goals:

3% reduction of Total Carbon by 2012 relative to 2005
17% reduction of Total Carbon by 2020 relative to 2005
100% reduction of Purchased Electricity Carbon by 2027 relative to 2005
42% reduction of Total Carbon by 2030 relative to 2005
50% reduction of Stationary Fuels Carbon by 2040 relative to 2005
83% reduction of Total Carbon by 2050 relative to 2005

Change in Emissions from 2017 to 2019:

Scopes 1 and 2: -7%
Scope 3: 495%
Gross emissions: 18%
Net emissions: 18%

Description of Institution Goals:

Reduce institution-wide Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions 42% by 2030 and 83% by 2050, with net‑zero emissions from purchased electricity by 2027. We will achieve this through cost‑effective efficiency and resilience measures and strategic energy partnerships, including a 203 MW off‑site solar portfolio with our utility that will fully match campus electricity by 2027; campus‑wide LED conversions and occupancy‑sensor/HVAC integration; localized solar‑plus‑battery systems that bolster grid stability and site resilience; and advanced analytics and digital‑twin modeling to optimize operations. These efforts advance reliability, affordability, and community benefit while responsibly lowering emissions and scaling solutions beyond our campus.
