  1. Milestone 5Monitor/Evaluate Progress Milestone 3Establish Local Action Plan Milestone 4 Implement Local Action Plan The Five Milestones for Climate Mitigation Make Commitment Milestone 1 Inventory Emissions Milestone 2Set Target/Goal

  2. Greenhouse Gas Inventory The Importance of Quantification An assessment of energy use & associated emissions • Assess baseline performance • Compare alternative scenarios • Illustrate opportunities • Set attainable goals • Prioritize projects • Demonstrate progress toward emission reduction goals • Obtain quantification of emissions profile You can’t effectively reduce what you don’t measure.

  3. Local Government Operations Protocol • Details best-in-class practices for conducting an inventory of GHG emissions from local government operations • Comprehensive and allows for standardized inventorying and reporting practices • Community Protocol being developed now

  4. Inventory Basics • Report on a calendar year basis • Base year should be reliable, reflective, and complete. Consider: • Regional consistency • ‘Traditional year’ • Completeness – need all data • Always take complete notes!!! • Identify things within your Operational Control - owning an operation, facility or source, or having the ability to make changes in the facilities you lease.

  5. Sectors Analyzed Government Op. Inventory • Buildings • Vehicle Fleet • Streetlight and Traffic Signals • Water/Sewer/Wastewater • Ports/Airports • Solid Waste • Employee Commute • Mobile Equipment • Other Process and Fugitive Emissions Community Inventory • Residential • Commercial • Industrial • Transportation • Waste • Other Process and Fugitive Emissions

  6. Emissions Calculation/Estimation Methodology GHG Emissions = Activity Data X Emission Factor • ICLEI’s software provides the emissions factors (with a few exceptions) • Your job is to find the activity data…aka energy use

  7. Categories of Data: ICLEI Energy Data Needed • Electricity • Natural Gas • Fuel Oil / Propane / Stationary Diesel • Gasoline & Diesel • Compressed Natural Gas or Biofuel • Waste • Annual Mileage, Vehicle Type, Model Year • Population Served by Wastewater Treatment Facility • Refrigerants leaked from vehicles, air conditioners, refrigeration units, heating, & fire suppressant equip. • Vehicle Miles Traveled • Other Process and Fugitive Emissions
