KTH's carbon footprint 2015, 2019 and 2022
KTH's carbon footprint 2015, 2019 and 2022 according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (pdf 1.1 MB) presents KTH Royal Institute of Technology carbon footprint, including a description of the method and assumptions. The report also conains an analysis of the results in relation to KTH's Sustainability objectives and the potential for future emission reductions.
Calculations show that KTH has increased its carbon footprint by 18% since 2015 (10% since 2019) and has therefore not met its climate target for 2022. Purchased goods and services remain the category with the largest share of emissions (approximately 70%), followed by business travel (approximately 20%) and premises (approximately 8%).
The report also includes an analysis of the results in relation to KTH’s climate targets and the potential for future emission reductions. A key success factor for KTH’s climate efforts is addressing emissions from business travel in general, and air travel in particular. 2050 also recommends that KTH develop its methodology and data for a more detailed analysis of purchased goods and services.
