Carbon emission in line with the protocol GHG

Our university is striving to comply with protocols aligned with GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions, which are regulated by the Iraqi Control and Standardization Device/Ministry of Planning in Iraq. This entity is responsible for overseeing and regulating carbon emissions and reduction, particularly in university facilities, including laboratories.

Laboratories are vital environments for research and development, but they can be significant sources of carbon emissions. Therefore, focusing on reducing carbon emissions in laboratories is an important step in enhancing environmental sustainability at the university. This can be achieved by adopting efficient energy and resource management practices, utilizing energy-efficient technologies, and promoting environmental awareness among the university community.


 Over the years, the University of Al-Esraa has been preparing annual reports on carbon emissions and tracking these. Reports concert with GHG'S protocols.
By measuring the emissions of scope 1 and scope 2 in buildings by measuring all of the University rooms and buildings in GIA Measurement of energy emissions within the total from scope 1 electricity processing 
Al-Esraa University also has a contract with the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity to equip the University with electricity as in figure 1  . 
The University measures these equipment and other sources of carbon emissions annually to assist with plans to reduce these emissions from fuel combustion and emissions from private and public vehicles, etc. 
The emissions of co2 in scope 1 and scope 2 of fuel combustion and other emissions in the baseline year 2020 is about 518 tons of carbon emissions, by following GHH’s protocols to measure the emissions, Al-Esraa University adding several solar panels and several plans to reduce energy discharge from what contributed to a reduction in emission to 390 tons by 2023, Energy production from solar panels is 44KW which reduced energy production from fuel combustion.
