Butler University Decarbonization Master Plan 2024-2050

This Decarbonization Master Plan for Butler University outlines a strategic roadmap to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with an interim goal of 45% reduction by 2030 from 2011 baseline levels. The plan focuses on four core strategies: Strategic Energy Management, Electrification for Thermal Energy Transition, On-Site Renewable Energy Production & Storage, and Off-Site Renewable Energy & Carbon Offset Procurement. It aims to reduce environmental impact, enhance fiscal responsibility, and position the university as a leader in sustainability by optimizing campus operations and infrastructure.
