この研究は、インドのバンガロールにある農業大学キャンパスのカーボンフットプリントを評価した。Scope1、2、3の排出量を算定し、総排出量は7606.545トンCO2e/年で、Scope3（食品廃棄物や通勤等）が37.46%を占めた。IPCCやGHGプロトコルに基づいた手法は、インドの教育機関における排出量管理の枠組みを提供する。
English
This study assesses the carbon footprint of the GKVK campus in Bangalore, India, using IPCC and GHG Protocol guidelines. Total emissions are 7,606.545 tCO₂e/yr, with Scope 1 at 42.08%, Scope 2 at 20.46%, and Scope 3 at 37.46%. Major sources include LPG, electricity, food waste, refrigerants, and commuting. The study provides a replicable framework for Indian educational institutions.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
インドの農業大学キャンパスでの事例だが、Scope3を含む包括的なGHGインベントリ手法は、日本の大学や研究機関でも応用可能。SSBJや有報におけるスコープ3開示が進む中で、教育機関のカーボンマネジメントの参考となる。
In the global GX context
This study demonstrates a comprehensive GHG inventory for an educational institution in India, aligning with global standards like IPCC and GHG Protocol. It highlights the importance of Scope 3 emissions (e.g., food waste, commuting) for campus sustainability, relevant for institutions worldwide seeking carbon neutrality.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a baseline methodology for institutional carbon accounting, useful for researchers in carbon footprinting and university sustainability.
🏢実務担当者:Offers a replicable framework for sustainability teams in universities to conduct their own GHG inventory.
🏛政策担当者:Emphasizes the role of educational institutions in national GHG reduction targets, supporting India's net-zero goals.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The study conducted a detailed carbon footprint assessment of the Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra (GKVK) campus, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, using internationally recognised standards such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines and the greenhouse gas (GHG) Protocol. As institutions are increasingly recognised for their contribution to GHG emissions through energy use, transport, waste and food services, this research quantified emissions across scope 1 (direct), scope 2 (indirect from purchased electricity) and scope 3 (other indirect emissions). Activity data were collected from institutional records, surveys and field assessments, while emission factors were sourced from IPCC (6th assessment report) AR6, the united nations framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC) GHG calculator v2.6 and Central Electricity Authority (CEA) guidelines. The total GHG emissions from the GKVK campus were estimated at 7606.545 tonnes CO₂e/yr, with scope 1 contributing 42.08 %, scope 2 contributing 20.46 % and scope 3 contributing 37.46 %. Major sources included liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) usage (1334884 kg CO₂e), grid electricity (1556180 kg CO₂e), food waste (1622855 kg CO₂e), refrigerant leakage (982430 kg CO₂e) and student commuting (879466 kg CO₂e). While the study provides a comprehensive institutional GHG baseline, it is limited to one academic year and excludes embodied emissions from infrastructure. The findings establish a replicable framework for Indian educational institutions to measure, manage and mitigate emissions. Future research should extend this model to multi-campus assessments and long-term carbon management planning, strengthening the roadmap toward carbon-neutral academic ecosystems and supporting India’s broader net-zero commitments.
