August 2010* reflects GWP & Emission Factors Energy Conservation Measures - ongoing energy audits, energy saving renovations, appropriate technologies, facilities upgrades, etc. Alternative Energy Projects - onsite, stand-alone, clean & renewable energy projects designed to power existing structures Green-Building Energy Systems - systems design of new construction to meet space needs with a focus on integrated, multi-component, clean & renewable energy systems complimented by ultra efficient building envelopes allowing excess energy to flow to other buildings. Focus on biomass and CHP. Campus Action - campaigns among students, staff, and faculty for increased awareness, reducing waste, new purchasing policies, web presence, etc !Forest Carbon Sequestration - proper designation and management of certain ESF forest properties inline with Chicago Climate Exchange & GHG Protocol standards.New “zero net energy” showcase building for campus. Design includes biomass combined heat and power, PV, green roof, passive solar and rain gardens.Gateway Building Energy Efficiency 8,000 MBtu CHP Wood Pellet Steam Boiler 8,000 MBtu CHP Natural Gas Boiler 200 kW Back-pressure steam turbine 30 kW CHP Biodiesel Micro-turbine Dual 65 kW CHP Natural Gas Micro-turbines 150-200 kW Solar PV array CHP System is a 25% improvement in efficiency Offset 54,000 MMBTU Fossil Fuels Annually ◦ 18,000 MMBTU from efficiency improvements ◦ 36,000 MMBTU from fuel switching improvement System is projected to save ESF $450,000 annually, and provides a $1.5 million NPV over 15 years Combined Heat and Power System 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Heating Needs (Main Campus) Electric Needs (Total) GHG Offsets Total % Met by GatewayCranberry Lake Biological Field Station & Charles Lathrop Pack Experimental Forest SUNY ESF Final Step toward Carbon Neutrality Maximization of existing resources eliminates the need for purchased offsets 6,000+ MTCO2e sequestered annually Designation and management practices inline with Chicago Climate Exchange and GHG Protocol Standards Forest Name Location Acreage Annual MTCO2e/acre Net Annual MTCO2e Pack Demonstration Forest Warrensburg, NY 2,181 3.03 6,612 Heiberg Memorial Forest Tully, NY 1,486 2.54 3,6467 Heiberg Memorial Forest, Tully NYThree-year old after coppice One-year old after coppice Coppice First year growth Site Preparation Planting Early spring after coppicing Harvesting Energy – renewable generation and energy savings are more than 30 times fossil fuel invested to implement. Environmental – Over the life of the projects we expect to offset 478,000 MT CO2e. Economic – The investment required is $14 m (offset by grants and incentives). The projected to savings are $1.2 m annually.Remain a leader & innovator of Sustainability & Climate Focused... Education Research Outreach Partnerships Community Service Encourage campus awareness & involvement with sustainability projects. Publicize & expand sustainability efforts to the local community and beyond. Monitor progress and adjust goals and plans as appropriate Continue to grow ESF’s portfolio of sustainability
