  1. Federal Energy Management Program Executive Order 13514 and the Emerging Federal Framework for GHG Management Matt Gray FEMP Program Analyst November 3, 2009

  2. FEMP Mission Facilitate the Federal Government’s implementation of sound, cost-effective energy management & investment practices to enhance the nation’s energy security & environmental stewardship 2

  3. President Obama Signing EO 13514 On October 5, President Obama Signed Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance. 3

  4. EO 13514 framework • Executive Order 13514 establishes numerous goals for Federal agencies. • EO 13514 represents a transformative shift in the way the government operates by: • establishing GHGs as the integrating metric for tracking progress in Federal sustainability • requiring a deliberative planning process • linking to budget allocations and OMB scorecards to ensure goal achievement. • E.O. 13423 Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management(January 29, 2007) is not revoked by the new E.O.; the requirements of that Order remain in effect. 4

  5. FEMP and Agency GHG Requirements Milestones • Prepare GHG Target tool (done) • Designate Senior Sustainability Officer 11/5/09 • Complete top down agency-wide GHG inventory • Submit Scope 1 & 2 target goals for 2020* 1/4/10 • Submit to CEQ/OMB recommended GHG reporting guidance • Issue guidance on Federal fleet management 4/5/10 • Participate in recommendations for addressing vendor and contractor GHG emissions • Submit Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan, in concert with 2012 budget submission* • Submit Scope 3 target goals for 2020* 6/2/10 • Provide electronic GHG reporting capability • Submit to CEQ input on agency adaptation actions 10/5/10 • Complete comprehensive 2010 GHG inventory 1/3/11 * Scored & Approved by OMB & CEQ Green: FEMP-Specific Tasks Black: Agency Requirements 5

  6. Other EO 13514 Goals The new Executive Order also requires agencies to meet sustainability targets, including: • Achieve 30% reduction in vehicle fleet petroleum use by 2020 • Achieve 26% reduction in potable & 20% reduction in industrial, landscaping, & agricultural water consumption by 2020 • Comply with new EPA stormwater management guidance • Achieve 50% recycling & waste diversion by 2015 • Requires that 95% of all applicable procurement contracts will meet sustainability requirements • Requires 15% of buildings meet the Guiding Principles for High Performance and Sustainable Buildings by 2015 • Design all new Federal buildings which begin the planning process by 2020 to achieve zero-net energy by 2030 6

  7. GHG Emissions by Scope GHG Emissions by Scope … and PURCHASED STEAM … and FUGITIVE EMISSIONS Compliance with EO 13514 means agencies will have to gather data on Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a number of sources. … and EMPLOYEE COMMUTING 7

  8. GHG Accounting Hierarchy Key Agencies: Policies and RegulationsEstablish GHG requirements (EO 13514) CEQ, OMB Public Sector GHG ProtocolConsistent accounting approach EPA, all agencies CEQ, DOE, DOD, DOI, EPA, GSA Federal GuidanceImplement regulation, provide assistance Agency PlansOrganizational approach All agencies InventoryAgency / Facility level account All agencies 8

  9. GHG Inventory Protocols / Guidance WBCSD/WRI GHG Protocol EPA Climate Leaders Guidance The Climate Registry Protocol ISO 14064 Standards Public Sector Protocol CCAR Reporting Protocol

  10. Key Goals of Federal GHG Road Test Test and update protocol Apply principles in the Corporate Std. to unique structures and needs of local, state and federal agencies Internal operations, not community-wide Develop key components of GHG inventory; complete inventory not required Inform the Public Sector Protocol (PSP) implementation guidance by gaining critical insight into practical implementation issues Prepare for short- and long-term policy requirements Build up federal institutional knowledge on GHG accounting 10

  11. Approaches to Completing a GHG Inventory Faster Cheaper Less Detailed Less Site Ownership Slower More Expensive More Detailed More Site Ownership • Top-down • Headquarters level • Use existing data systems • Standardized calculation • Bottom-up • Equipment level • Detailed site-specific data • Customized calculation • Rollup to headquarters level

  12. Agency Road Testers • Department of Agriculture • Forest Service • Department of Commerce • NIST • Department of Defense • Defense Logistics Agency • Air Force • Army • Navy • Department of Energy • Pacific Northwest National Lab • National Renewable Energy Lab • Department of Health and Human Services • Department of Labor • Department of the Interior • Bureau of Land Management • Fish and Wildlife Service • Minerals Management Agency • National Parks Service (10 parks) • Department of Justice • Drug Enforcement Administration • Department of State • Environmental Protection Agency • General Services Administration • National Aeronautics and Space Administration • Postal Service • Tennessee Valley Authority • Veterans Affairs 12

  13. GHG Protocol in Context SOME KEY ISSUES: Organizational Boundaries Scope 3 Emissions Base Year Recalculation Renewable Energy Credits and Offsets Biogenic Emissions and Sequestration Reporting GHG Emissions Validation and Verification 13

  14. Example: Multiple GHG reporting requirements • FEDERAL: Federal reporting similar to Annual Energy Report • NATIONAL: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACESA) – Markey/Waxman • Stationary sources emitting more than 25k metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year • Facilities with on-site power plant or landfill must also report emissions • Emitters must report emissions in 2011 for 2007-2010, and quarterly thereafter • NATIONAL: EPA Mandatory GHG rulemaking, reporting in 2010 • REGIONAL: e.g. RGGI • STATE and LOCAL: e.g. California • GHG REGISTRIES: e.g. Climate Registry Regional GHG Initiatives
