ACUPCC• Presidents Climate
Commitment– Achieve climate
neutrality (date TBD)– Initiate tangible actions
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
– Publish the climate action plan, emissions inventory, and periodic progress reports

What is eCO2?
• Equivalent carbon dioxide emissions• Standard measurement for global warming
potential– Carbon Dioxide– Methane– Nitrous Oxide– Halocarbons– Sulfur Hexafluoride

Chemical Subgroups
• Refrigerants• Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) used for classroom
and research purposes• Disposal of hazardous waste• Acetylene and Propylene used for vehicle
maintenance• Acetylene used by the Chemistry Department
and the Art Department

Chemical Recommendations
In order to maintain accurate information and
inventory efficiency, records regarding both the
purchase and use of chemicals and disposal of
hazardous waste should be kept.
