Carbon Inventory Report

PRESIDENT’S CLIMATE COMMITMENT ADVISORY COUNCIL

Carbon Inventory

In 2007 Montgomery County Community College signed the American College & University President’s Climate Commitment. That same year the College established the President’s Climate Commitment Advisory Council. Part of the Council’s responsibilities is to inventory all of the anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on campus. To assist with the inventory, a program developed by Clean Air – Cool Planet (CA-CP) was used. All emissions are recorded in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (MTCOE). The global warming potential (GWP) of the individual gases is accounted for in the emissions, and the program is consistent with the guidelines established by the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC).
