Greenhouse Gas Reduction

Other Information:

Scope 1: MCC does not own or control any significant sources of direct greenhouse gas emissions. MCC leases and operates one vehicle. Since FY 2010, this has been an E85-fueled hybrid vehicle. Therefore this goal does not apply and MCC has not established a Scope 1 emission reduction target. Scope 2: MCC Scope 2 emissions derive from electricity use. MCC has undertaken efforts to reduce electricity consumption, as described herein, and will continue to engage in such efforts to include education and outreach activities to encourage staff participation in ongoing conservation activities. As a tenant in commercial buildings, MCC does not control decisions related to the design or upgrade of major building systems, such as HVAC and lighting. Additionally, electricity use in MCC buildings is centrally metered, and therefore MCC cannot directly measure electricity use. As a result, this goal does not apply and MCC has not established a Scope 2 emissions reduction target. Nonetheless, MCC has established a Scope 2 emissions baseline and will continue to track its Scope 2 emissions against the FY 2008 baseline, as presented below.
