  1. Manatee County Greenhouse Gas Inventory

  2. Formula Grants The purpose of the EECBG Program is to assist eligible entities in creating and implementing strategies to: • Reduce fossil fuel emissions • Reduce total energy use of the eligible entities • Improve energy efficiency in the building sector, the transportation sector, and other appropriate sectors Funding Opportunity DE-FOA-0000013 Pg. 5

  3. ICLEI International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis The Climate Registry Local Government Operations Protocol

  4. Guiding Principles • Relevance ~ Include emission sources under government’s control • Completeness ~ All emissions within a government’s operational boundary • Consistency ~ Identifying boundaries, analysis of data, and quantification are all consistent year-over-year • Transparency ~ Must have a well-documented audit trail • Accuracy ~ Integrity of the information is vital

  5. Major Greenhouse Gases • Carbon Dioxide • Methane • Nitrous Oxide • Hydroflourocarbons • Perflourocarbons • Sulfur hexaflouride

  6. Base Year • Kyoto Protocol suggests 1990 • Key factors in the decision ~ • Reliable documentation • Records availability

  7. Organizational Boundary • Operational Control Highly recommended for local governments • Financial Control

  8. Government Sectors Buildings and other facilities Vehicle Fleet Streetlighting and Traffic Signals Water & Wastewater Treatment, Collection & Distribution Waste Port Facilities Airport Facilities

  9. Operational Boundaries • Scope 1 ~ Direct emissions • Stationary combustion • Mobile combustion • Scope 2 ~ Indirect emissions • Electricity purchases • Scope 3 ~ Indirect emissions • Employee commute, outsourced activities (especially those normally performed by a local government)

  10. Quantifying Emissions • Calculation-Based Methodology • Activity Data X Emissions Factor = Emissions • Measurement-Based Methodology • Usually CEMS (continuous emissions measurement systems)

  11. Sample Calculations • Municipal Building 1,250,000 KWh annually

  12. eGRID Subregion Representational Map

  13. “On May 8, 2007, Governor Crist executed the multi-state compact… “…establish a set of common protocols and support a common reporting system. The Climate Registry will ensure consistency and transparency between climate programs implemented by states and tribes as well as establish a high level of environmental integrity in emissions accounting, reporting, and verification.” http://myfloridaclimate.com/climate_registry
