SUBJECT
Review and Comment on the CY 2017 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Report
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council Sustainability Committee reviews and comments on the CY 2017 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory report.
SUMMARY
The General Plan includes greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets for the Hayward community. To track progress, staff completes a full community GHG inventory every five years. Due to an opportunity with East Bay Energy Watch (EBEW) and StopWaste, staff completed an interim inventory for 2017 and re-calculated the inventories for 2005, 2010, and 2015 using the same methodology. This report provides the results of calendar year 2017 inventory and compares it to the previous three inventories. The table below summarizes the emissions totals for the five sectors - energy, transportation, BART, off-road, and waste. Emissions are displayed in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTC02e).
