Total Carbon Footprint (UI GreenMetric)

Description:

Andijan State Technical Institute regularly monitors its carbon footprint as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability and climate action. The university calculates its annual carbon emissions based on the UI GreenMetric recommended methodology, considering electricity consumption and transportation activities within the campus.

During the last 12 months, the institute consumed 1,633,286 kWh of electricity, resulting in approximately 1,371.96 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. Electricity consumption represents the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions on campus due to the operation of academic buildings, laboratories, administrative offices, classrooms, lighting systems, and other university facilities.

Transportation-related emissions were calculated based on the number of shuttle buses, private cars, and motorcycles operating within the campus. The estimated emissions amounted to 0.96 metric tons of CO₂ from shuttle buses, 5.57 metric tons from private cars, and 0.19 metric tons from motorcycles. Consequently, the total campus carbon footprint for the reporting period was approximately 1,378.68 metric tons of CO₂.

To reduce its carbon footprint, the institute has implemented several sustainability initiatives, including energy-efficient lighting systems, the gradual installation of renewable energy technologies, digitalization of administrative and academic processes to reduce resource consumption, tree planting campaigns, and awareness programs promoting sustainable transportation and environmental responsibility. The university is committed to continuously improving energy efficiency, increasing the use of clean energy sources, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
