FIn this paper we apply an Environmental Extended InputeOutput (EEIO) model to calculate the Carbon
Footprint (CF) of the Norwegian University of Technology and Science (NTNU). Results show that the CF
of NTNU is very significant with an average contribution of 4.6 tonnes per student. In particular, the
purchase of large amounts of equipment and consumables for scientific use is found to be an important
contributor to this. In the paper we also derive per-department CFs, enabled by the standardized
structure of the financial accounting system used by the university. Results show large variations in the
CF of the different faculties. Social Science and Humanities have a significantly lower CF per student
compared to Natural Science, Engineering, and, in particular, the Faculty of Medicine. The single most
important CF contributing input to the university is, however, allocated to the property department
regarding the use of energy and other building related activities. Also, the CF structures of the departments/
faculties show large differences that indicate that different mitigation strategies are needed.
