Supporting Sustainable Development Goals

At Aswan University, we are dedicated to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through our commitment to sustainable practices and carbon reduction, we contribute to global efforts for a greener future.

At Aswan University, we adhere to the internationally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol standards, guiding our comprehensive approach to measuring, managing, and reducing our carbon footprint. By aligning with these rigorous standards, we ensure transparency, accuracy, and accountability in our sustainability initiatives.

Overview of GHG Protocol scopes and emissions across the value chain

1. Scope 1 Emissions:

Scope 1 emissions encompass direct greenhouse gas emissions produced from sources owned or controlled by our university. These emissions arise from activities like on-campus fuel combustion, heating, and vehicle fleets. By tracking and reducing our Scope 1 emissions, we aim to minimize our direct environmental impact and contribute to a sustainable campus.

• Annual Usage

2. Scope 2 Emissions:

Scope 2 emissions relate to indirect greenhouse gas emissions associated with our purchased energy consumption. This includes the electricity we use to power our buildings and facilities. We focus on reducing Scope 2 emissions by increasing energy efficiency, adopting renewable energy sources, and optimizing our electricity consumption patterns.

• Purchased Electricity

3. Scope 3 Emissions:

Scope 3 emissions encompass broader indirect emissions beyond our direct operations. These emissions arise from sources such as commuting, waste disposal, and supply chain activities. By addressing Scope 3 emissions, we take a comprehensive approach to sustainability, working with our community and partners to collectively reduce our carbon footprint.

Renewable Energy:

• Total Renewable Energy Generated: 17934 kw\h (2023\2024)
  These figures represent our energy consumption over the specified years. We remain dedicated to continuously improving our energy efficiency and striving for further reductions in the years to come.

Total Carbon Footprint: 12126.75722 tCO2e
