| Natural Gas | 106,660 | 97,756 | -8.34% |
| Heating Oil | 11,571 | 14,874 | +28.55% |
Scope 2 are emissions that a company causes indirectly and come from where the energy it purchases and uses is produced.

| Energy Source | KG CO2e | KG CO2e | Emissions Change |
| Electricity | 189,523 | 183,686 | -3.08% |
*The Green House Gases (GHG) Protocol 2001, introduced definitions for Scope 1, 2 and 3 as the recognised international protocol for measuring greenhouse gases.
