Marin Climate & Energy Partnership  Activity-based vs. consumption-based  Consumption-based includes:  Upstream emissions  Mining, growing, producing, packaging, shipping  Food production  Air travel 44 MTCO2e Consumption-based 14 MTCO2e Activity-based Community Emissions Marin Climate & Energy Partnership Community Emissions by Sector Built Environment - Electricity 6% Built Environment - Natural Gas 25% Waste 3% Wastewater <1% Off-Road 1%Water <1% Transportation 66% 159,846 MTCO2 e Community Emissions Down 22% Since 1990 0 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 1990 Est. 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 M T C O 2e 2030 Goal 2045 Mitigation Goal Community Sector Highlights Since 2005… Electricity emissions down 85% due to lower carbon intensity of electricity Natural gas emissions down 14% Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) down 14% Transportation emissions down 22% due to lower VMT, better fuel efficiency, and more ZEVs 7.5% ZEVs in Marin County in 2022 5.8% ZEVs in San Rafael in 2022 Waste disposal in landfills down 22% Waste emissions down 47% due to lower organic content in landfilled waste CAP Progress Sector 2022 Reduction in Emissions 2030 CAP Target Built Environment: Electricity 86%93% Built Environment: Natural Gas 14%28% Transportation 22%46% Waste 47%74% Best opportunity to significantly reduce emissions further is to electrify everything – vehicles, hot water heaters, heating systems, and appliances ZEVs by end of 2023 9% 16% 11% 8% 12% 14% 6% 18% 11% 7% 10% 16% 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% ZEVs as Percent of Light Duty Vehicle Population Municipal Emissions Marin Climate & Energy Partnership Municipal Emissions by Source 2,550 MTCO2 e Less than 1% of community emissions Municipal Emissions by Source 2023-2025 Two-Year Priority Workplan Update 19 Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Two-Year Priorities September 16, 2024 •5 Completed •9 In Progress •1 On Hold •1 Ongoing 11 Action Items Department Integration SB 1383 Climate Financing District Electric Vehicle Strategy Workplan Energy Efficiency and Electrification Equitable Low-Carbon Economy Illegal Dumping Sea Level Rise Project Climate Resilience Plan State Laws Reimagine the Volunteer Program Wildcard! 1.
