  2. Overview • Community-wide GHG Inventory • Boundaries and Demographics • Methodology • GHG Inventory Software and Limitations • Source Categories • Data sources • Baseline Year • Analysis & Findings • Projections • Existing Measures

  3. Broward County Boundaries Population: 1.7 million people 31 Municipalities Unincorporated Broward County 787 Square Miles of Conservation Area

  4. ICLEI’s CACP Software and Limitations This software calculates the GHG emissions produced by energy use, fuel use, and solid waste disposal at both community and government levels. The CACP Software calculates carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions directly from the amount of fuel or energy used.

  5. Inventory Methodology ICLEI’s Clean Air and Climate Protection Software and the FAA Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System Year 2007 was selected based on the most current, reliable data available. ICLEI provided technical support and reviewed the draft report.

  6. Source Categories Broward County’s Community-wide GHG emissions inventory includes emissions from the following community-related activities. • Residential • Commercial • Industrial • Transportation • Waste • Other (Aircrafts)

  7. Residential Single and multi-family homes Annual electricity consumption by residential customers in 2007. Annual natural gas usage by residential customers in 2007.

  8. Commercial Offices, government buildings, educational facilities, and businesses. Annual electricity consumption by commercial customers in 2007. Annual natural gas usage by commercial customers in 2007.

  9. Industrial • Asphalt plants, industrial processing, flares, incinerators, turbines. • Annual electricity and fossil fuel consumption by industrial facilities in 2007. • Annual natural gas usage by industrial facilities in 2007.

  10. Transportation The Transportation sector includes on-road and off-road emissions. • On-road emissions: Based on vehicle miles traveled. GHG emissions were calculated using Annual Average Daily Traffic data generated by FDOT monitoring sites located throughout Broward County. • Off-road emissions: Based on fuel consumption by the four major railroad companies that operate in Broward County: Florida East Coast Railways, CSX Transportation, AmTrak, and Tri-Rail.

  11. Waste Virtually all the waste that is generated in Broward County is handled through Broward County’s landfills, waste-to-energy plants, and recycling programs. Based on tons of waste and material type processed in the above facilities.

  12. Other - Aircrafts Emissions from airplanes were determined using the FAA Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System. • Broward County Airports: • Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) • Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) • North Perry Airport (HWO) • Pompano Beach Airpark (PMP)

  13. GHG Emissions Inventory Results for Baseline Year 2007
