Case Study: Green Sports Alliance achieves Net Zero College Football Playoff results with RyeStrategy carbon accounting

The Green Sports Alliance Bringing Sustainability to College Football Playoff

The Green Sports Alliance, a non-profit promoting sustainability in sports, partnered with RyeStrategy to measure the carbon footprint of the 2023 College Football Playoff (CFP). Their challenge was to perform a comprehensive carbon accounting for the major event, which included emissions from buildings, transportation, and fan travel.

RyeStrategy implemented a detailed carbon accounting solution. Their consultants prepared by engaging with vendors and stakeholders to ensure comprehensive data collection. After the event, they calculated the emissions and addressed data gaps with estimates. This enabled the Green Sports Alliance, using RyeStrategy's data, to successfully purchase offsets for 100% of the event's operational emissions and 7% of fan travel emissions.
