SUMMARY
The Council-adopted General Plan includes greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets for the community. This report provides the results of the calendar year 2021 inventory and compares it to the previous seven inventories. Table 1 summarizes the emissions totals for six sectors - electricity, natural gas, transportation (includes public transit), off-road vehicles, waste, and water and wastewater. Emissions are displayed in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTC02e). The table shows that, in 2021, emissions were reduced by 37.4% since 2005.
