2. ACUPCC Presidents Climate Commitment – Achieve climate neutrality (date TBD) – Initiate tangible actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – Publish the climate action plan, emissions inventory, and periodic progress reports

3. What is eCO 2 ? Equivalent carbon dioxide emissions Standard measurement for global warming potential – Carbon Dioxide – Methane – Nitrous Oxide – Halocarbons – Sulfur Hexafluoride

4. 2010 Total eCO 2 Emissions Total Emissions: 38,870 metric tons eCO 2 o Electricity produces 12,707 MT eCO 2

5. eCO 2 Production by Sources 2008 & 2010 (MT)

6. Chemical Subgroups Refrigerants Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) used for classroom and research purposes Disposal of hazardous waste Acetylene and Propylene used for vehicle maintenance Acetylene used by the Chemistry Department and the Art Department
