GHG Emissions

Kingston Technology has undertaken an emissions audit by an outside firm on the amount of carbon dioxide being generated at the Orange County facility. The results of the audit indicate that most of our GHG emissions are indirect emissions from purchased electricity (99.165%), with the balance (.8375%) in direct emissions from company vehicle usage and production. Calculations were determined using the IPCC methodology and the USEPA methodology. The data reflects the period 1/1/08 to 12/31/08 for all facilities reported here.

In the calendar year 2009, Kingston will work to improve the data and scope of the information.

Environmental considerations are set to become an integral part of the professional conduct, practice and ethical considerations that Kingston Technology professionals will bring to this organization.

Emission Type Source CO2 Emissions in tonnes CY 2008
DirectCompany Vehicles25.298
 Process related emissions0.4841
IndirectPurchased Electricity3.052 thousand

The data here has not been audited or verified by an accredited third-party verifier.

Emission Type Source CO2 Emissions in tonnes CY 2007
DirectCompany Vehicles17.564
 Process related emissions0.4842
IndirectPurchased Electricity3.853 thousand


Shown below are the GHG emissions from Kingston’s Taiwan and Shanghai facilities respectively. The results of the audit indicate that the GHG emissions are primarily indirect emissions from purchased electricity. Calculations do not include direct emissions from production as these could only be estimated at this time.
