Greenhouse Gas Emissions Protocol Disclosure
October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023

DCT, Incorporated (DCT) reports Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions using the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard published by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the World Resources Institute.

DCT is a corporation which provides operations and maintenance services to the Federal government and others on a contract basis. Greenhouse Gas Emissions produced by refrigeration and air conditioning equipment and other such equipment at these facilities are owned and reported by the Federal government or other customers. All are in the United States. DCT limits its reporting to equipment owned by DCT and to costs for which DCT is responsible for payment.

DCT’s GHG Inventory is derived from the Environmental Protection Agency’s schedule of “Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories” at Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories (epa.gov)

Typically, greenhouse gas emissions are reported in units of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Gases are converted to CO2e by multiplying by their global warming potential (GWP). The emission factors listed in this document have been converted to CO2e. To do so, the emissions were multiplied by the corresponding 100-Year GWP (25 for CH 4 and 298 for N 2 O).

Inventory for the period 10-01-2022 to 09-30-2023

Direct -Scope 1:

600.01 tons CO₂ Equivalent Total

123.72 tons CO₂ which is the same for CO₂ Equivalent

5.00 tons CH₄ , 125.02 tons CH₄ in CO₂ Equivalent

1.05 tons N₂O, 313.73 tons N₂O in CO₂ Equivalent

DCT produces no Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC’s), Perfluorocarbons (PFC’s) or Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).

Energy Indirect-Scope 2:
Purchased energy (electricity from SPSO Grid and natural gas)

61.93 tons CO₂ Equivalent Total

10.09 tons CO₂ which is the same for CO₂ Equivalent

0.74 tons CH₄, 18.38 tons CH₄ in CO₂ Equivalent

.11 tons N₂O, 32.63 tons N₂O in CO₂ Equivalent


Goals for Reductions

Scope 1: DCT replaces vehicles cyclically and each new generation has lower greenhouse emissions.

Scope 2: DCT strives to replace all light bulbs, appliances, etc. with lower energy use products.

Due to the indirect nature of these factors, quantitative goals are not considered significant or reasonably estimable.

There have been no conditions (such as mergers or acquisitions, outsourcing, insourcing, changes in reporting boundaries or calculation methodologies, etc.) to date which would trigger a recalculation of the base year.
