Developing appropriate climate actions related to business travel at a Finnish university
Purpose This study aims to account for the business travel-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a department of sustainability science at a geographically isolated Finnish university and examines how the department may lead the way in climate action. Design/methodology/approach Data related to business travel of 65 department staff members were collected and compared to similar data for the entire university for the calendar year 2023. Four …
Opportunities to improve data quality of scope 3 emissions in the context of carbon neutrality
Purpose This study aims to assess the greenhouse gas (GHG) Protocol scope 3 categories and evaluate data sufficiency from a university’s point of view. The specific purpose was to determine whether the current carbon footprint information can be used to plan emission reductions at LUT University. Design/methodology/approach This study uses the GHG Protocol’s accounting and reporting principles, namely, relevance, completeness, accuracy, consisten…
The role of energy prosumers in the transition of the Finnish energy system towards 100 % renewable energy by 2050
A cost-optimised transition pathway towards 100 % renewable energy was simulated for Finland. This transition was consistent with EU and international targets to achieve sstainability, while maintaining national competitiveness. Finland was divided into 7 regions that account for resource distribution and demand differences at high spatial and hourly time resolutions. Results indicate that levelised cost of electricity can decrease from 61 €/MWh …
