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 We all need to do our part to get to our goals Emissions by Source 2022 2023 Built Environment - Electricity 2% Built Environment - Natural Gas 27% Waste 3% Water & Wastewater <1%Off-Road 1% Transportation 67% Built Environment - Electricity 6% Built Environment - Natural Gas 26% Waste 3% Wastewater <1% Off-Road 1% Transportation 66% Emissions Down 24% Since 1990 2030 Goal – 40% Below 1990 Level 2045 State Mitigation Goal – 85% Below 1990 0 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 600,000 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 MT C O 2e Sector Highlights Since 2005… Electricity emissions down 93% due to lower carbon intensity of electricity Electricity use down 23% Natural gas use and emissions down 10% Transportation emissions down 24% due to better fuel efficiency, and more ZEVs Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) flat 9.3% ZEVs in Marin County and 7.3% ZEVs in San Rafael 2023 CAP target is 25% ZEVs in San Rafael by 2030 Waste emissions down 46% due to lower organic content in landfilled waste Waste disposal in landfills down 20% ZEV Growth in Marin 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 Nu m b e r o f Z E V s ZEV Growth Trend Existing ZEVs Annual Increase in ZEVs 11% 14% 17% 21% 26% 33% 41% 0 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 60000 70000 80000 90000 Nu m b e r o f Z E V s ZEV Projection at 2024 Growth Rate (21%) Light-Duty Vehicle Population in California Emissions Projection with 2005-2023 Trendline - 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 600,000 20 0 5 20 0 6 20 0 7 20 0 8 20 0 9 20 1 0 20 1 1 20 1 2 20 1 3 20 1 4 20 1 5 20 1 6 20 1 7 20 1 8 20 1 9 20 2 0 20 2 1 20 2 2 20 2 3 20 2 4 20 2 5 20 2 6 20 2 7 20 2 8 20 2 9 20 3 0 Actual Emissions Emissions Reduction Needed to Reach State Goal Linear (Actual Emissions) Emissions Clarifications in Report Correction 1: Page 1, Executive Summary “San Rafael needs to reduce emissions by another 64,755 MTCO 2e to meet the local and State target for 2030.” - The report had a typo and stated the number as 6076,040 MTCO 2e Correction 2: Page 1, Executive Summary “San Rafael needs to reduce GHG emissions by another 245,995 MTCO2e to meet the GHG mitigation target for 2045, as shown in Figure 1.” - The report had a typo and stated the number as 257,280 MTCO2e. A new report with these corrections will be entered into the record.
