Study for achieving carbon-neutral campus in India
The concept of Carbon Neutrality is gaining momentum in recent years due to the rising awareness of climate change. Carbon neutrality means (A) Minimize greenhouse gas emissions to the best extent possible, and (B) Create a sink for the residual GHG emissions. Tree plantation being the most effective way for creating natural carbon sinks. The overall objective of this study is reducing the carbon footprint of an educational and research institution in India. The study starts with the assessment of carbon emissions covering scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 for the selected site. The emissions are quantified keeping in mind the inclusions and exclusions of the study. It further looks at carbon offsets/sinks and the impact that they have on the campus. The study compares data from different years and recommends the way forward towards the achievement of carbon neutrality. This study aims to act as a framework for similar studies for campuses who take a step towards sustainability.
