Thanks to the HPC’s energy efficiency measures in the building and copious amounts of renewable energy on tap, the SCV has minimal Scope 2 grid electricity emissions. This, combined with the Scope 1 emissions from the transport of their athletes (from/to school and surf events), SCV’s total annual carbon footprint is 19 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide (mtCO2e). For their 2020 footprint, SCV partnered with the Plantar uma Árvore organization to plant trees in a wildfire-stricken area that is only 1.5 hours away from Viana in the Serra do Alvão region. Between October 2021 and February 2022, the organization Plantarumaarvore.org will plant 32 native trees in Serra do Alvão, which the NGO estimates will sequester 19 tonnes of CO2 over their lifetime.
