2 Mid 2000s: Climate Change Reaches Mainstream
3 Rice University Commits to Go Climate Neutral
4 Topics Part 1: Higher Ed Institutions and Climate Change Progress Across Higher Ed Part 2: Rice University Carbon Footprint and Plans to Become Carbon Neutral Rice Scope 1 Emissions Rice Scope 2 Emissions Rice Scope 3 Emissions Carbon Sequestration
5 Part 1: Higher Ed Institutions Combat Climate Change
6 ACUPCC Progress Report, Sept 2014 Step 1: Sign the Commitment 684 signatory institutions, representing about 7.5M students (over 1/3 of higher education) Step 2: Conduct and Emissions Inventory 629 institutions have submitted at least one emissions inventory Step 3: Develop a Climate Action Plan 537 Climate Action Plans submitted Typical target carbon neutral date: institutions (13%) have set a target by no later than Step 4: Implement Plan 315 campuses have shown an emissions reduction (average of 19%) Source: ACUPCC,

Companies are not required to notify ERCOT when their dual fuel units are using secondary fuel. Therefore, values shown here are calculated based on primary fuel type and may not exactly reflect the fuels being used by dual fuel units. Dual fuel units are included in the category of their primary fuel. A positive value in the 'Net DC/BLT' row indicates import of power, negative indicates export. "Other" includes solar, petroleum coke, landfill gas, biomass solids, biomass gases, and any unknown fuel.

33 Q: How can the construction of a new building be good for the environment?
34 Source: Dr. Ning Zeng, University of Maryland, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Design for the Carbon Cycle
35 Building Materials: CO2 Storage vs. Emissions As long as the wood does not burn or decompose, the carbon remains locked (or sequestered) inside the wood. By comparison, creating 1 m³ of concrete causes 1,400 kg of CO2 emissions, and 1 ton of steel causes 3,629 kg of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.

38 Design With CLT
39 Largest CLT Project in the World (by Volume) 122 Apartments Only 2 tons of steel in entire project 80-90% reduction in deliveries, 1 story completed every 3 weeks 3,200 metric tonnes of CO2 sequestration
40 Student Housing in Heidelberg 265 students Ready for occupancy 5 months after slab completion 3,000 tons of CO2 sequestered Source: LiWood
41 What If?
42 A Few Thoughts About RICEMaP The Climate Action Plan should be viewed as a starting point. Scope 3 emissions and projected emissions from new growth are covered by carbon sequestration from the Rice Land Lumber Company property. Is this the right approach? New opportunities continue to emerge How comfortable are we with the greenhouse gas inventory? Does it include everything it needs to include?
