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 2019 inventory and compares it to the previous five inventories. Table 1 summarizes the emissions totals for the six sectors - electricity, natural gas, transportation, BART, off-road vehicles, and waste. Emissions are displayed in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTC02e). The table shows that emissions were reduced by 25.7% since 2005, exceeding the goal of 20% by 2020.
