Affordable and Clean Energy

Kamphaeng Phet Rajabhat University surveys activity data and identifies both direct and indirect sources of greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol, the global accounting standard for the public and private sectors, developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). Greenhouse gas emissions are categorized into three scopes:

Scope 1: Direct Emissions
Emissions from fuel combustion in the University’s transportation systems.

Scope 2: Indirect Energy Emissions
Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased electricity used within the University.

Scope 3: Other Indirect Emissions
Waste: Emissions generated from incineration or landfill disposal of waste.
Wastewater: Emissions released from wastewater discharge and treatment.
