SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND ACCEPT REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS ON THE
2010 GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY AND THE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION STRATEGY ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2011
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the following two documents:
1. 2010 Greenhouse Gas Inventory
2. Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy Annual Report for 2011
BACKGROUND:
This staff report addresses two recently completed greenhouse gas emissions reports. The first
is the 2010 Greenhouse Gas Inventory (Inventory), which is done every five years and is meant
to provide an in-depth assessment of emissions for the community and government operations.
The second is the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy Annual Report for 2011 (2011 Report),
and is meant to provide a means to gauge our efforts as they relate to our Climate Change
Action Plan. Each has its own merits and limitations, which will be explained later in this report.
Regulatory Context
Since 2005, the State of California has responded to growing concerns over the effects of
climate change by adopting a comprehensive approach to addressing emissions in the public
and private sectors. This approach was officially initiated with the passage of the Global
Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), which requires the state to reduce its greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The AB 32 Scoping Plan was developed to identify
strategies for meeting the AB 32 goal, and was adopted by the California Air Resources Board
in December 2008. Among many other strategies, it encourages local governments to reduce
emissions in their jurisdictions by 15 percent below current levels by 2020, and discussed
longer-term goals established by Executive Order S-3-05 to reduce emissions 80 percent below
1990 levels by 2050. GHG Inventories are done every five years to gauge emissions by local
jurisdictions,

2010 Greenhouse Gas Invento
The objective of this Inventory is to identify the sources and quantify the amounts of GHG
eDliSGi0OS generated by the activities of the San Rafael coOlDlUOdv and local gVveO1[D8Dt
operations in 2010. This inventory provides 3 CO0p@hgOO to baseline 2005 e0iSSi0DS, and
identifies the sectors where significant [8dUCtiVDS in GHG 8DliSSiODS have OCCUrnSd and where
more work needs tObSdone.
In 2007. the City Of 88n Rafael became an inaugural DleDlbe[ of the K4GhO (||iDlatH & Energy

ANALYSIS:
As stated above, this staff report addresses two related reports with distinct purposes. The
2010 Greenhouse Gas Inventory helps us identify reductions in specific sectors and allows data
aggregation by the state or regional entities to get an overall understanding of GHG emissions
aCn3SS California. It also C3|CU|ates government operations eDlis8i0DS, based on data which
requires significant amounts Vfstaff time iOgather. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy

and iSmeant tOupdate the Council OOSan Rat39|`Simplementation actions related b]the
CCAP.
2010 GHG Inventory Results
The Inventory provides two in-depth snapshots in time: 2005 and 2010. Between those two
y98[S, CUDlrDUDitv Bn1iSSiODS went down 3pp[0XDl8t8|y 8.1 p8[C9Dt. VVhU8 San R8f8e|'S
government operations emissions went down approximately 19.2 percent. Community
emissions take into account all emissions iDSan Rafael, including government operations.
Government operations represent a small fraction, only about 1 %, of total community
8DniSSiOOS.
Community emissions included significant reductions iDthe commercial energy sector, the
transportation sector, the waste sector, and the water sector. The majority OferRiSSiOOS
reductions were due U}state policies such 8Sthe California clean car fuel standards and
requirements for utility companies tO provide more renewable energy in their portfolios. In
addition the reduction in vehicle miles travelled contributed to emissions reductions, presumably
due to the ecOOOnOiC dOVYOLu[D. Last, although VV8Ste is 8 SDlal| portion of the Ome[a|| GHG
emissions, there was 8significant drop iDwaste going tVlandfill thanks i0local efforts t0get [O
z8[O vv8Ste' as well as reduction of waste due to the dovVDtU[D in the economy.
Government operations emissions reductions occurred iDthe following sectors: employee
CUrDDlUhS, water delivery, public lighting, buildings and f8Ci|iU8S, and vehicle fleet. The majority
of emissions reductions were due to a reduction in number of City employees, and the increase
0frenewable energy iDthe PG&E energy mix 8swell 8Sthe switch tOthe Marin Clean Energy
Light G[88D power option for the City 8O8ngy supply. It ShOUN be noted that although eDliSSi0OS
went down, electricity consumption went up by six percent and natural gas consumption went
Upby10percent. These increases were due iDpart t0the fact that one major f8Ci|itv.iheA|b8rt
J. BOnJ Community Center (then C@||ed PicWeVve8d Community Center) was undergoing @
major renovation in 2005 and was not fully operational as it was in 2010.
The only governmental sector where emissions increased was the waste sector, which
increased hv12percent. Waste increases were due UJ@spike iDthe City's removal Ofillegal
dumping and homeless campsites, both of which increased significantly between 2005 and
2O1U�
|Oconclusion, this Inventory is@useful snapshot ofour early years of G0Greduction, but iS
limited in that it only provides two points Of data, and therefore affords very |hƒ|8 trending ability.
That said there are some clear change factors that should provide further community emissions
n8duC[iOOS in the future: state policies driving increases in renewable energy and more fuel-
efficient vehicles, and |oC@/ actions tOswitch tO Marin C|H8O Energy. In addition, efforts by the
City to improve energy efficiency and increase vehicle fleet fuel efficiency should also provide
additional emissions reductions 8tthe local government level.

2011 GHG Reduction Strate-gy Report Results
The 2011 Report provides broad category, best -estimate emissions data for the years 2OU5-
2U11 based ODpublicly available data, with limited calculations for each year. This data shows
an OVH[8|| reduction Of 8ppnOxirO8t8iy 13% during that time, including an appn]XiDl8t0 5%
reduction between 2O1Oand 2O11.Major 8F8@SOfe0iSSiODSP8dUCUODs are iDconcert with the
Inventory results.
This report only deals with community emissions since BAAQMD has primarily focused on
reducing community emissions and due to the time -intensive nature of data gathering
associated with government operations. Emissions iDk}00atiVO for large sectors is more readily
available through energy providers and other utilities, but is usually not available until one to
one and 8half years after the end Ofthe calendar year.
The 2011 Report also identifies areas Ofimplementation the City has accomplished O[iS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Climate change, caused by an increase in the concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases, has been called one
of the greatest challenges facing society today. Potential climate change impacts include declining water supplies,
spread of disease, diminished agricultural productivity, sea level rise, and increased incidence of wildfire, flooding,
and landslides. In addition, the volatility of energy markets has roused concern, and is forcing communities to think
differently about their resources. Here, in the State of California – with Assembly Bill 32, the Attorney General's
efforts to mandate GHG reductions via the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and other legislation—
policies, programs and state laws designed to reduce greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by the year 2020 have been
created and are being implemented.
In 2006 San Rafael was one of the early signatories to the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection
Agreement, committing the City to working towards meeting the goals of the Kyoto Protocol. To provide a
roadmap on haw the City can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its own municipal operations as well as
influence residents and businesses in San Rafael to reduce their emissions, the City Council called for the
preparation of a Climate Change Action Plan.
In March 2008 the City Council appointed a 14 -member Green Ribbon Committee composed of volunteers with
diverse expertise but a common interest in sustainability to prepare a draft plan with extensive community input.
The Council also appointed volunteer subject experts to four "Green Teams" which tackled issues such as
transportation, waste reduction, land use, green building, energy conservation and adaptation.
The result of this community planning effort is the San Rafael Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) which was
adopted by the City Council on April 20, 2009. This document lays out the goals and implementation plan for
achieving a 25% reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) by 2020, and an ambitious 80% reduction by 2050 to meet
state targets. The Implementation Plan is broken down into several distinct areas of action: Lifestyles, Buildings,
Environment, Economy, Community Outreach, and City Operations.
This report measures the progress the City has made on reducing greenhouse gas emissions between 2005 and
2010. In some cases, changes have been made to the baseline year calculations in order to ensure an apples -to -
apples comparison of emissions between 2005 and 2010. The inventory quantifies greenhouse gas emissions from
a wide variety of sources, from the energy used to power, heat and cool buildings, to the fuel used to move
vehicles and power off-road equipment, to the decomposition of solid waste and the treatment of wastewater.
Emissions are arranged by sector to facilitate detailed analysis of emissions sources and comparison of increases
and decreases between 2005 and 2010. It is important to note that the inventory provides a snapshot of two years
and does not intend to imply there is necessarily a trend line between those years. Total emissions may have gone
up or down during the years between 2005 and 2010.
The encouraging news is that San Rafael reduced community greenhouse gas emissions approximately 8.11
between 2005 and 2010, from 375,845 metric tons in 2005 to 345,516 metric tons in 2010 – a reduction of 30,329
metric tons CO2e. Reductions were measured in all sectors except the wastewater sector. On a percentage basis,
the greatest declines occurred in the waste (-34%), water (-31%), and commercial (-151) sectors. In absolute
terms, the greatest reductions were made in the commercial (13,403 metric tons), transportation (9,479 metric
tons), and waste (4,376 metric tons) sectors.
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory f
TABLE A: COMMUNITY EMISSIONS BY SECTOR, 2005 AND 2010
*Energy use only
In the commercial and residential energy sectors, an increase in natural gas usage was offset by reductions in
electricity consumption. Emissions dropped because of an improvement in the carbon intensity of PG&E electricity
and a mid -year switch to Marin Energy Authority Electricity. Approximately 6% of electricity consumed in San
Rafael in 2010 was purchased through the Marin Energy Authority.
In the transportation sector, a decline in vehicle miles traveled on local roads and Highway 101, as well as
improvements in fuel efficiency and the carbon intensity of transportation fuels, led to a decline in in
transportation emissions. The great strides that were made in the waste sector were due to a 31% reduction in
waste going to the landfill. A 31% decrease in fuel used in construction vehicles and equipment was the primary
driver behind the reduction in off-road emissions, while a decrease in water usage and an improvement in the
carbon intensity of electricity led to a decline in water emissions. More detailed analysis of the factors related to
decreases and increases in emissions appears in the Community Inventory Detail by Sector section beginning on
page 14.
As shown in Figure A, emissions from the transportation sector were responsible for the greatest percentage of
greenhouse gas emissions (49%) in 2010, followed by emissions from the residential sector (25%) and the
commercial sector (22%). The waste sector represented 2% of total emissions, while the wastewater, off-road and
water sectors were each responsible for 1% or less of community emissions.

Government operations represent a small fraction of total community emissions, at approximately 1%. Within
government operations, emissions decreased by 768 metric tons COze, or by 19.2%. Emissions decreased in all
sectors except the waste sector, with the majority of reductions occurring in the employee commute sector
(-37%), water delivery sector (-29%) and public lighting sector (-21%). More than three-quarters of the reductions
occurred in the employee commute sector, which was due, in part, to a 15% reduction in the number of City
employees between 2005 and 2010. Excluding employee commute emissions, total emissions from government
operations decreased by 10.2%. Most of the decrease in the other sectors was due to a decrease in the carbon
intensity of electricity supplied by Pacific Gas and Electric and the Marin Energy Authority.

In conclusion, these results demonstrate that San Rafael is on its way to accomplishing its greenhouse gas
reduction goals for community -wide and government operations emissions. If emissions continue to decrease at
the current rate, San Rafael would achieve a reduction in community emissions of 22% by 2020, 7% more than the
State goals, and 3% shy of the City's goal of 25%.
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions InventoryIT
PURPOSE OF INVENTORY
The objective of this greenhouse gas emissions inventory is to identify the sources and quantify the amounts of
greenhouse gas emissions generated by the activities of the San Rafael community and local government
operations in 2010. This inventory provides a comparison to baseline 2005 emissions, and identifies the sectors
where significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions have occurred and where more work needs to be done.
In some instances, baseline emissions were recalculated in order to ensure the same methodology was employed
for 2005 and 2010. In addition, some new emission sources were added to the inventory; this report includes
emissions from residential use of propane and fugitive emissions from refrigerants used in government operations.
GENERAL METHODOLOGY
This inventory utilizes methodologies developed by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and
ICLEI for quantifying community -scale emissions. In general, the inventory follows the standards outlined in the
International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis Protocol and, where appropriate, the Local Government
Operations Protocol (discussed below), with additional guidance from the Air District with respect to quantifying
emissions from the transportation, off-road, water and wastewater sectors.
Community emissions have been categorized according to seven primary sectors:
■ Residential
■ Commercial
• Transportation
■ Off -Road Vehicles and Equipment
■ Water
■ Wastewater
■ Waste
For quantifying emissions from government operations, this inventory utilizes a national standard called the Local
Government Operations Protocol (LGO Protocol) that has been developed and adopted by the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) in conjunction with ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability, the California Climate
Action Registry and The Climate Registry. This standard provides accounting principles, boundaries, quantification
methods and procedures for reporting greenhouse gas emissions from local government operations. The LGO
Protocol forms the basis of ICLEI's Clean Air & Climate Protection Software (CACP 2009), which allows local
governments to compile data and perform the emissions calculations using standardized methods.
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
Local government operations emissions have been categorized according to the following sectors:
■ Buildings and Other Facilities
■ Streetlights, Traffic Signals, and Other Public Lighting
■ Water Delivery Facilities
■ Vehicle Fleet
• Solid Waste
■ Employee Commute
CALCULATING EMISSIONS
In general, emissions can be quantified in two ways:
1. Measurement -based methodologies refer to the direct measurement of greenhouse gas emissions from
a monitoring system. Emissions measured in this way may include those from a flue of a power plant,
wastewater treatment plant, landfill, or industrial facility. This method is the most accurate way of
inventorying emissions from a given source, but is generally available for only a few sources of emissions.
2. Calculation -based methodologies refer to an estimate of emissions calculated based upon measurable
activity data and emission factors. Table 1 provides examples of common emissions calculations. For
example, in order to calculate the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from community electricity
consumption, the total amount of kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity consumed by the community over a
one-year period is multiplied by an emission factor specific to that source. This results in the amount of
carbon dioxide gas emitted by electricity consumption in that year. All emissions inventoried in this
report are calculated in this manner.
TABLE 1: FACTORS FOR CALCULATING EMISSIONS
This inventory calculates individual greenhouse gases — e.g., carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — and
converts each gas emission to a standard metric, known as "carbon dioxide equivalents" or CO2e, in order to allow
an apple -to -apples comparison among the three emissions. Table 2 shows the greenhouse gases identified in this
inventory and their global warming potential (GWP), a measure of the amount of warming each gas causes when
compared to a similar amount of carbon dioxide. Methane, for example, is 21 times as potent as carbon dioxide;
therefore, one metric ton of methane is equivalent to 21 metric tons of carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gas emissions
are reported in this inventory as metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, or MTCO2e.
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
TABLE 2: GREENHOUSE GASES
TYPES of EMISSIONS
Emissions from each of the greenhouse gases can come in a number of forms:
■ Stationary or mobile combustion resulting from the on-site combustion of fuels (natural gas, diesel,
gasoline, etc.) to generate heat or electricity, or to power vehicles and equipment.
■ Purchased electricity resulting from the generation of power from utilities outside the city limits.
■ Fugitive emissions resulting from the unintentional release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere,
such as leaked refrigerants and methane from waste decomposition.
■ Process emissions from physical or chemical processing of a material, such as wastewater treatment.
THE SCOPES €F-RAr'IiEt=1/ORK
This inventory reports greenhouse gas emission by sector, as described earlier in this report, and by "scope." The
scope framework is used to prevent double counting of emissions across communities for major categories such as
electricity use and waste disposal. Scopes are defined as follows:
■ Scope 1: Direct emissions from the combustion of fuels to produce heat, steam, electricity or to power
equipment; mobile combustion of fuels; process emissions from physical or chemical processing; fugitive
emissions that result from production, processing, transmission, storage and use of fuels; leaked
refrigerants; and other sources.
■ Scope 2: Indirect emissions associated with the consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, steam,
heating, or cooling. Scope 2 emissions occur as a result of activities that take place within the city limits
but are generated outside of the town. For example, electricity from Pacific Gas & Electric Company is
consumed within San Rafael but the greenhouse gasses associated with this consumption are emitted
outside of the city where the electricity is generated.
■ Scope 3: All other emissions sources that hold policy relevance to the local government that can be
measured and reported. Typically, these are emissions not covered in Scope 2 that occur as a result of
activities within the city. Scope 3 emissions include (but are not limited to) emissions resulting from the
decomposition of solid waste, the treatment and distribution of water, and the treatment of wastewater
at facilities located outside of the city boundaries. Within the government operations inventory, Scope 3
emissions also include emissions resulting from employee commutes.
_=San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory j
ORGAN IATIONAL BOUND RIES
The organizational boundary for the inventory determines which aspects of operations are included in the
emissions inventory, and which are not. Under the LGO Protocol, two control approaches are used for reporting
emissions: operational control or financial control. A local government has operational control if it has full
authority to introduce and implement policies that impact the operation. A local government has financial control
if the operation is fully consolidated in financial accounts. If a local government has joint control over an
operation, the contractual agreement will have to be examined to see who has authority over operating policies
and implementation, and thus the responsibility to report emissions under operational control.
The LGO Protocol strongly encourages local governments to utilize operational control as the organizational
boundary for a local government operations emission inventory. Operational control is believed to most
accurately represent the emissions sources that local governments can most directly influence, and this boundary
is consistent with other environmental and air quality reporting program requirements. For this reason, this
inventory for local government operations emissions was conducted according to the operational control
framework.
UNDERSTANDING TOTALS
It is important to realize that the totals listed in the tables and discussed in the report are intended to represent
all-inclusive, complete totals for San Rafael's community emissions. However, these totals are only a summation
of inventoried emissions using available estimation methods. Each inventoried sector may have additional
emissions sources associated with them that were unaccounted for, due to a lack of data or robust quantification
methods. Greenhouse gas emissions associated with air travel and the production of goods outside the
community's boundary are not included in the inventory. Additionally, the community inventory does not include
refrigerants released into the atmosphere from the use of air conditioning in cars and buildings.
INFORMATION ITEMS
Information items are emissions sources that are not included as Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions in the inventory, but
are reported here separately in order to provide a more complete picture of emissions from San Rafael's
government operations. Information items for this inventory include one parks department vehicle using the
refrigerant R-12, refrigerators and freezers using the refrigerants R-12 and R-22, and air conditioning systems and
units using the refrigerant R-22. These refrigerants are not included in the inventory because they are ozone-
depleting substances and are being phased out by 2020 under the terms of the Montreal Protocol.

REGIONAL AND LOCAL CONTEXT
CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION ACTIVITIES 'IN CALIFORNIA
Since 2005, the State of California has responded to growing concerns over the effects of climate change by
adopting a comprehensive approach to addressing emissions in the public and private sectors. This approach was
officially initiated with the passage of the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), which requires the state
to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The AB 32 Scoping Plan was developed to identify
strategies for meeting the AB 32 goal, and was adopted by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) in December
2008. Among many other strategies, it encourages local governments to reduce emissions in their jurisdictions by
15 percent below current levels by 2020. In addition, it identifies the following strategies that will impact local
governance:
■ Develop a California cap -and -trade program
■ Expand energy efficiency programs
■ Establish and seek to achieve reduction targets for transportation -related GHG emissions
■ Expand the use of green building practices
■ Increase waste diversion, composting, and commercial recycling toward zero -waste
■ Continue water efficiency programs and use cleaner energy sources to move and treat water
■ Reduce methane emissions at landfills
Preserve forests that sequester carbon dioxide
Other measures taken by the state include mandating stronger vehicle emissions standards (AB 1493, 2002),
establishing a low -carbon fuel standard (EO # S-01-07, 2007), mandating a climate adaptation plan for the state (S -
EO # 13-08, 2008), establishing a Green Collar Job Council, and establishing a renewable energy portfolio standard
for power generation or purchase in the state. The state also has made a number of legislative and regulatory
changes that have significant implications for local governments:
■ SB 97 (2007) required the Office of Planning and Research to create greenhouse gas planning guidelines
for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In addition, ARB is tasked with creating energy -use
and transportation thresholds in CEQA reviews, which require local governments to account for
greenhouse gas emissions when reviewing project applications.
■ AB 811 (2007) authorizes all local governments in California to establish special districts that can be used
to finance solar or other renewable energy improvements to homes and businesses in their jurisdiction.
■ SB 375 (2008) revises the process of regional transportation planning by metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs), which are governed by elected officials from local jurisdictions. The statute calls on
ARB to establish regional transportation -related greenhouse gas targets and requires the large MPOs to
develop regional "Sustainable Communities Strategies" of land use, housing and transportation policies
that will move the region towards its GHG target. The statute stipulates that transportation investments
must be consistent with the Sustainable Communities Strategy and provides CEQA streamlining for local
development projects that are consistent with the Strategy.
Created in 2007, the mission of the Marin Climate & Energy Partnership (MCEP) is to reduce greenhouse gas
emission levels to the targets set by Marin County and focal municipalities, consistent with the AB32 standards.
Ten Marin cities and towns, the County of Marin, the Transportation Authority of Marin, and the Marin Municipal
Water District are members. The Marin Climate and Energy Partnership provided staff support and technical
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
expertise for the development of this inventory. Funding for this project was provided in part by the Marin County
Energy Watch (MCEW), a joint project of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and the County of Marin.l
CLIMATE CHANGE MIT GAT! N ACTIVITIES IN SAN RAFAEL
Since approval of the San Rafael Climate Change Action Plan in April 2009, the City has continued to implement
greenhouse gas reduction programs in San Rafael. These include the following:
■ Adopted a Green Building Ordinance with building efficiency standards above the State green building and
energy codes.
■ Adopted a construction and demolition (C&D) debris recycling and reuse ordinance that requires a
minimum of 70% of C&D waste to be recycled rather than deposited into the landfill. The ordinance
incrementally increases diversion requirements until targets meet 95% by the end of 2025.
■ Adopted a Zero Waste resolution that commits the City to reaching a 94% diversion rate by 2025.
• In partnership with Marin Sanitary Service, implemented residential curbside food waste collection. The
program reduces methane emissions by composting food waste instead of depositing it into the landfill.
■ Adopted a resolution supporting a joint project by the Central Marin Sanitation Agency and the Marin
Sanitary Service to collect commercial food waste and convert it to energy at the wastewater treatment
plant.
■ Participated in the Energy Upgrade California program, which provided substantial rebates to
homeowners to perform energy audits and "whole house" energy upgrade retrofits.
■ Joined the Marin Energy Authority and provided San Rafael ratepayers with the ability to purchase
electricity with a higher renewable energy content.
■ In mid -2010, switched all City electricity accounts to Marin Clean Energy light green electricity.
Approximately 53% of the City's electricity was purchased through the Marin Energy Authority in 2010.
■ Implemented Marin Municipal Water District's Ordinance 421 which added, amended, and repealed
certain sections of MMWD's Title 13 Water Code. The revisions were necessary to further meet
conservation measures within the District's service area, as well as meet 2010 California Green Building
Standards, improve the effectiveness of the District's water waste prevention program, and increase
efficiency standards.
■ Installed charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles in City garages.
■ Led a county -wide Single Use Plastics Advisory Committee to investigate options for reduction of single
use plastic bags and takeout containers. Continuing to pursue a plastic bag reduction ordinance county-
wide.
■ Adopted a polystyrene takeout food container ordinance.
■ Adopted an Integrated Pest Management Policy.
■ Amended San Rafael's General Plan to incorporate the Climate Change Action Plan as a Sustainability
Element.
■ Has implemented bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements such as the Lincoln
Avenue/Highway 101 Bike and Pedestrian Path, city-wide sidewalk and curb cut improvements,
participation in the FHA's Non -Motorized Transportation Pilot Program, support of Safe Routes to Schools,
and re -opening the CalPark Tunnel.
■ Joined the CaliforniaFIRST commercial property -assessed clean energy financing program (PACE).
j MCEW is funded by California utility ratepayers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
■ Helped pilot a Resilient Neighborhoods residential carbon reduction program. 46 San Rafael households
participated in the program, reducing their carbon emissions by approximately 493,000 pounds.
■ Hosted a business resiliency learning circles series in conjunction with Dominican University, the Chamber
of Commerce, and Natural Capitalism Solutions, with funding by the Marin Community Foundation. 23
local businesses participated and were provided tools and resources to reduce their emissions while
reducing their costs of doing business.
• Supported the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) efforts to bring commuter rail to the 101 corridor
through a public planning process for the station areas.
■ Implemented traffic signal coordination to limit vehicle idling in San Rafael.
■ Implemented recycling at City sponsored events and farmers markets.
• Supports community gardens such as the new Canal Community Garden project in the Canal
Neighborhood.
■ Has replaced the City Hall HVAC system to a more energy efficient system.
■ Has replaced City pool vehicles with fuel efficient vehicles.
■ Has been replacing hundreds of street lights to high -efficiency lamps, as well as lighting in City buildings
and parking garages, and has replaced all outdoor holiday lighting with LED lights, reducing electricity use
and costs.
■ Instituted an Employee Green Team in 2010, which works regularly across departments to implement
green practices, and piloted an Employee Commute Program in 2013 in an effort to reduce single
occupant vehicle employee commutes.
■ Adopted energy efficiency ordinances to make it easier for residents and businesses to install solar panels,
and developed a Qualified Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy to allow CEQA streamlining of new
development and building projects.
■ Supported EcoFair Marin and Earth Day Marin festivals.

COMMUNITY INVENTORY RESULTS
SAN RAFAEL PROFILE
San Rafael is a city with a land area of 16.5 square miles, located in the heart of Marin County. According to the
U.S. Census, the population of San Rafael in 2010 was 57,713 and there were 24,011housing units. The California
Department of Finance estimates the population of San Rafael in 2005 was 56,296.2 San Rafael enjoys a temperate
climate, with cool, wet, and almost frostless winters and dry summers. The city is located in climate zone 2, and
experienced an estimated 3,649 heating degree days and 292 cooling degree days in 2005. The year 2010 was
relatively cooler, with 4,027 heating degree days and 168 cooling degree days.
COMMUNITY INVENTORY SUMMARY
In 2005, the activities taking place by the San Rafael community resulted in approximately 375,845 metric tons of
CO2e. In 2010, those activities resulted in approximately 345,516 metric tons of CO2e, a reduction of 30,329 metric
tons, or 8.1%. These numbers represent a roll -up of emissions. While the roll -up is a valuable figure, the
breakdown of emissions information by sectors, sources, and scope allows the comparative analysis and insight
needed for effective decision-making for target setting, developing GHG reduction measures, and monitoring. The
following summaries break down these totals by sector, sources, and scope.
SU=.`=7MARY BY SECTOR
As shown in Table 4 and Figure 1, the transportation sector was the largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in
both 2005 and 2010 (47% of total emissions in 2005 and 49% in 2010). Emissions from the residential energy
sector produced the second highest quantity (24% in 2005 and 25% in 2010), followed by the commercial energy
sector (23% in 2005 and 22% in 2010). Emissions were reduced in all sectors except the wastewater sector, with
the greatest reductions occurring in the commercial sector (13,403 metric tons CO2e), transportation sector (9,479
metric tons), and waste sector (4,376 metric tons CO2e).

day (HDD) is a measurement designed to reflect demand for energy needed to heat a facility, while a cooling degree day (CDD)
is used to reflect the demand on energy needed to cool a building. Degree days are calculated using daily temperature readings
and a base temperature (typically 60 or 65 degrees). For example, a typical January day has an average temperature of 47
degrees. For such a day we can approximate the HDD as (65 - 47) = 18.

3portation
When considering how to reduce emissions, it is helpful to look not only at which sectors are generating emissions,
but also at the specific mw resources and materials (gasoline, diesel, electricity, natural gas, solid waste, etc.)
whose use and generation directly result in the release of greenhouse gases. Table 5 and Figure 2 provide
summaries of San Rafae|'s 2005 and 2010 greenhouse gas emissions by source. Between 2005 and 20I0, emissions
increased from the combustion of natural Ras (2'459 metric tons [02e) and the treatment of wastewater (38
metric tons [D'e' Emissions from all other sources declined, with the largest decreases occurring from electricity
and gasoline sources. In 2010, the largest source ofemissions was gasoline (47Y6)' followed by natural gas (27Y6)
and electricity (21%).

As shown in Table S, Scope 1 sources produced the largest amount ofcommunity greenhouse gas emissions in
both 2005 and 2010, with emissions totaling 266,022 metric tons CO2e in 2010. Scope 2 emissions comprised the
second largest amount (69,856 metric tons COze)' and Scope 3 emissions totaled 9,638 metric tons [02e. The
greatest reduction occurred in Scope emissions, which represents emissions from the waste and water sectors.
TABLE 6: COMMUNITY EMISSIONS SUMMARY BYSCOPE, 2OOSAND IO10
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
PEP CAPITA EMISSIONS
Per capita emissions can be a useful metric for measuring progress in reducing greenhouse gases and for
comparing one community's emissions with neighboring cities and against regional and national averages. That
said, due to differences in emission inventory methods, it can be difficult to produce directly comparable per
capita emissions numbers, and one must be cognizant that there will be some margin of error when comparing
figures.
As detailed in Table 7, dividing the total community -wide GHG emissions by service population (residents and
employees) yields a result of 3.7 metric tons of CO2e per capita in 2005. Per capita emissions decreased 2.2%
between 2005 and 2010, falling to 3.6 metric tons per person. It is important to understand that this number is not
the same as the carbon footprint of the average individual living or working in San Rafael (which would include
lifecycle emissions, emissions resulting from air travel, etc.).

Energy consumption associated with San Rafael homes produced 89,715 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions
in 2005 and 87,694 metric tons in 2010, a decrease of 2.31. All residential sector emissions are the result of
electricity consumption and the on-site combustion of natural gas and propane. Natural gas is typically used in
residences as a fuel for home heating, water heating and cooking, and electricity is generally used for lighting,
heating, and to power appliances. In 2005, San Rafael's entire residential sector consumed 132,638,035 kWh of
electricity and 11,229,829 therms of natural gas.
As shown in Table 8, electricity usage in San Rafael's residential sector decreased by 0.9% between 2005 and 2010,
while emissions decreased by 11.31. This greater decline in GHG emissions occurred for two reasons. First, the
carbon intensity of PG&E electricity declined 9% between 2005 and 2010. Second, some San Rafael residents
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory I
began to purchase their electricity from the Marin Energy Authority (MEA) approximately mid -way through the
year, resulting in about 6% of all residential kWh purchased through MEA in 2010. The carbon intensity of MEA
electricity was about 27% lower than that supplied by PG&E in 2010 due to the higher percentage of renewable
and non -greenhouse gas emitting energy sources in MEA's energy mix.
The decline in PG&E's emissions from delivered electricity from 2005 to 2010 owed, in large part, to an increase in
the amount of zero- and low -emitting electricity in their power portfolio and the expanded use of cleaner fossil -
fueled electricity, including two new, state-of-the-art natural gas-fired plants that PG&E brought into service in
2010. More than half of PG&E's power came from a combination of non -greenhouse gas emitting and renewable
sources in 2010. Several factors affect PG&E's power mix and emissions from year to year, including demand
growth, the weather and the availability of hydro power.
TABLE 8: RESIDENTIAL EMISSIONS SOURCES, 2005 AND 2010
Natural gas usage increased 2.3% between 2005 and 2010. This may be due, in part, to the fact that 2010 was a
cooler year than 2005.4 Since the natural gas emissions factor does not fluctuate, the amount of greenhouse
gases emitted by the combustion of natural gas also increased 2.3%.
As shown in Table 9 below, San Rafael residents generated approximately 3.9 metric tons of energy-related
greenhouse gas emissions per household in 2010. This is a decrease of 1.5% per household since 2005.5

San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
facilities within the commercial sector produced 74,713 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. All commercial
sector emissions included in this inventory are the result of electricity consumption and the on-site combustion of
natural gas. Natural gas is typically used in the commercial sector to heat buildings, fire boilers, and generate
electricity; electricity is generally used for lighting, heating, and to power appliances and equipment.
As shown in Table 10, electricity usage decreased by 10.3% in the commercial sector between 2005 and 2010, and
emissions from electricity consumption decreased even more — by 25% — due to the same emission factor reasons
explained in the section on residential emissions above. Natural gas usage increased 3.7%. The net effect was to
decrease total emissions from the commercial sector by 15.2%.
TABLE 10: COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR
Emissions in the transportation sector are calculated by estimating all vehicle miles traveled on local roads within
the city limits and a proportionate share of vehicle miles traveled on state highways that pass through San Rafael.
Air travel and vehicle miles traveled outside of Marin County are not included in the analysis. In 2005, the
transportation sector generated 177,338 metric tons of COze. By 2010, emissions from the transportation sector
decreased by approximately 5.3% to 167,859 metric tons COZe. As shown in Table 11, vehicle miles traveled on
local roads decreased 3% between 2005 and 2010, while vehicle miles traveled on state highways are estimated to
have decreased by 1%.
TABLE 11: TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
Decreases in transportation sector emissions are largely due to changes in fuel efficiency and the carbon intensity
of transportation fuels. The Pavley I vehicle standards are over the long-term increasing fuel efficiency and
decreasing emissions per vehicle mile. Fuel efficiency data available for this inventory show an increase in fuel
efficiency from an average of 18.1 miles per gallon to an average of 18.5 miles per gallon for vehicles using gasoline
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory '
between 2005 and 2010. California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard is reducing the carbon intensity of fuel over the
long term, and some decreases in carbon intensity were measured between 2005 and 2010.6
OFF-ROAD SECTOR
Emissions in the off-road sector are from the combustion of fuels used to power vehicles and equipment in the
construction and lawn and garden categories, and include everything from hedge trimmers to cranes. As shown in
Table 12, off-road emissions decreased by approximately 13.3% between 2005 and 2010. This decrease was due
to a reduction in gasoline and diesel use in off-road vehicles and equipment, and an improvement in the carbon -
intensity of fuels. Emissions from construction equipment and off-road vehicles, in particular, decreased by about
31%, a result of the decline in the construction industry since the peak of the real estate boom in 2006-2007.
TABLE 12: OFF-ROAD EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
WA TEF SECTOR
Emissions in the water sector are a result of Marin Municipal Water District's use of electricity to pump, treat,
convey and distribute water from the water source to the water users in San Rafael. Emissions from the water
sector decreased about 30.7% between 2005 and 2010 (see Table 13). This reduction is based on two factors: a
decline in the amount of electricity needed to treat and distribute water, and a decline in the carbon intensity of
the electricity provided by PG&E and the Marin Energy Authority (MEA). MMWD began purchasing electricity
procured by the Marin Energy Authority about mid -way through 2010, and MEA electricity represented about 54%
of the District's total electricity usage in that year. MEA's electricity was about 27% less carbon intensive than
PG&E electricity in 2010.
TABLE 13: WATER EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
6 See the Appendix for further information.
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory j
As shown in Figure 3, water use has declined from 138.7 gallons per person in 2005 to 119.8 gallons per person in
2010, a reduction of almost 14%. Water demand responds to a variety of factors, including economic conditions,
precipitation patterns and weather conditions, water conservation fixture and behavioral changes, and water rate
structure changes. MMWD has increased water rates significantly in recent years (9.7% in 2008, 7.31 in 2009, and
9.8% in 2010), and demand has most likely declined in response to these rate increases. The recession of
December 2007 to June 2009, and the poor economic conditions that followed the official end of the recession,
have also likely contributed to a reduction in water demand.
FIGURE 3: MMWD PER CAPITA WATER USE, 2005 TO 2010
' AST tl AT ER SECTOR
Wastewater coming from homes and businesses is rich in organic matter and has a high concentration of nitrogen
and carbon, along with other organic elements. As wastewater is collected, treated and discharged by the Central
Marin Sanitation Agency, chemical processes in anaerobic conditions lead to the creation and emission of two
greenhouse gases: methane and nitrous oxide. Emissions from the wastewater sector are estimated to have
increased 2.6% between 2005 and 2010, due to an increase in the San Rafael population.
TABLE 14: WASTEWATER EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
Emissions from the waste sector are an estimate of methane generation from the decomposition of municipal solid
waste and alternative daily cover sent to the landfill in the 2005 and 2010. These emissions are considered Scope 3
because they are not generated in the base year, but will result from the decomposition of 2005 and 2010 waste
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory f
over the full 100+ year cycle of its decomposition. About 75 percent' of landfill methane emissions are captured
through landfill gas collection systems, but the remaining 25 percent escape into the atmosphere as a significant
contributor to global warming.
Emissions from waste generated by the San Rafael community in 2010 were 31% lower than 2005 due to a
reduction in landfilled waste.
TABLE 15: WASTE EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
Figure 4 shows the trend in county -wide waste generation between 2005 and 2010. Waste disposal decreased
approximately 31% over that time period. County -wide waste disposal hit a high of nearly 309,000 tons in 2006,
steadily declined over the next three years, and leveled off at just over 199,000 tons in 2010.

GOVERNMENT PROFILE
The City of San Rafael is a charter city and is governed by a four -member City Council and an elected mayor. The
local government operates administrative, planning, building, public works, and recreations and childcare
departments, as well as library, police and fire departments. In 2010, there were 362 total FT employees.
Expenses for governmental activities for fiscal year 2010-2011 were $91,327,624. s
GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS INVENTORY SUMMARY
In 2005, San Rafael's government operations produced approximately 3,993 metric tons of CO2e. In 2010, those
activities resulted in approximately 3,225 metric tons of CO2e, a reduction of 768 metric tons, or 19.2%. These
numbers include all Scope 1 emissions from the on-site combustion of fuels in facilities and vehicles, Scope 2
emissions from the purchase of electricity generated outside San Rafael's borders, and Scope 3 emissions from
waste generated by local government operations and transportation emissions from employee commutes. The
following summaries break down these totals by sector, sources and scope.
SUMMARY BY SECTOR
As shown in Table 16, emissions from government operations increased in the waste sector and decreased in all
other sectors. The greatest reduction occurred in the employee commute sector, which experienced a reduction
in emissions of 499 metric tons CO2e, or nearly 37%. Other significant reductions occurred in the public lighting
(130 metric tons), vehicle fleet (72 metric tons) and buildings and facilities sector (56 metric tons). Figure 4 shows
that the vehicle fleet sector was the largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in 2010 (27%), followed by
employee commute sector (26%) and the buildings and facilities sector (23%).

Table 17 shows a summary of the City's greenhouse gas emissions by source. Emissions decreased from gasoline
and electricity sources and increased from natural gas, diesel and solid waste sources. The greatest decrease
occurred in emissions from gasoline (623 metric tons, or -31%). Despite this significant decrease in gasoline
emissions, gasoline was the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in San Rafael's governmental operations in
2010 (see Figure 5), contributing 42% of all emissions. Emissions from refrigerants were not calculated in the 2005
inventory, so 2010 refrigerant data was used as a proxy to estimate refrigerant emissions for 2005.

As shown in Table 18, Scope 1 sources, which represent emissions generated within the San Rafael city limits,
produced the largest amount of greenhouse gas emissions from governmental operations in 2010. Scope 1
emissions declined 3% between 2005 and 2010. The largest decrease occurred in Scope 3 emissions, which include
the waste and employee commute sectors. Scope 2 emissions, which represent electricity consumed within San
Rafael but generated outside the City's borders, decreased by 20%.

listed above, the sectors included in the government operations emissions analysis are:
■ Buildings and Other Facilities
• Streetlights and Traffic Signals
■ Water Delivery
■ Vehicle Fleet
■ Waste
• Employee Commute
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
BUILDINGS AND OTHER FACILITIES
Facilities operations contribute to greenhouse gas emissions in two major ways. First, facilities consume electricity
and fuels such as natural gas, gasoline and diesel. This consumption is associated with the majority of greenhouse
gas emissions from facilities. In addition, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment in buildings can emit hydro
fluorocarbons (HFCs) and other greenhouse gases when these systems leak refrigerants. Refrigerants are very
potent greenhouse gases, and have Global Warming Potential (GWP) of up to many thousand times that of CO2.
For example, HFC -134a, a very common refrigerant, has a GWP of 1300, or 1300 times that of CO2. Therefore, even
small amounts of leaked refrigerants can have a significant effect on greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2010, San Rafael operated several major facilities, including the City Hall, library and police station, fire stations,
public works buildings, community centers, and childcare facilities. Data relating to electricity and natural gas
consumption for buildings and facilities was obtained from PG&E and data for refrigerants and fuel used for
backup generators were obtained from San Rafael staff.
As shown in Table 19, emissions from the buildings sector decreased by 7% between 2005 and 2010. Electricity
consumption increased by 6% but emissions decreased by 17% for two reasons. First, the carbon intensity of
PG&E electricity was lower in 2010. Second, the City purchased approximately 53% of its electricity for buildings
and other facilities from MEA in 2010; as noted earlier, the carbon intensity of MEA electricity was about 27%
lower than that supplied by PG&E in 2010, due to the higher percentage of renewable and non -greenhouse gas
emitting energy sources in MEA's energy mix.
Natural gas consumption and emissions increased by 10%. Fugitive emissions from refrigerants used in air
conditioners and refrigerators barely registered because most of the older equipment in San Rafael uses
refrigerants that are being phased out and are not reported in the Local Government Operating Protocol. These
emissions are reported separately and were discussed on page 8.
TABLE 19: BUILDINGS AND OTHER FACILITIES EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
Table 20 shows electricity and natural gas usage by facility. While energy consumption went down or remained
relatively stable in most facilities, there were a few notable exceptions. In particular, natural gas consumption
increased 40% at City Hall and the redevelopment agency offices. One reason for this increase was the installation
of a new HVAC system at City Hall in 2006; in 2005, the heating system was not working in the Council Chambers
and the City Hall foyer. Electricity and natural gas use increased at community centers by 30°l and 13%,
respectively. This is due to the fact that the Pickleweed Community Center was under construction in 2005.

STREETLIGHTS LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS
San Rafael operates streetlights, traffic signals, and other outdoor lighting. Emissions associated with the
operation of this public lighting are from electricity consumption. The City replaced all holiday lighting with LED
lighting, and electricity consumption for holiday lights decreased by nearly 50%. Overall, electricity consumption
in the public lighting sector increased 2% between 2005 and 2010. Despite this increase in electricity use,
emissions dropped by 21% due to the lower emission factors for PG&E and MEA electricity. In 2010, approximately
56% of the electricity used in the public lighting sector came from MEA.

W.-. "ER DELIVERY
This sector includes any facilities used for the management and distribution of water. Typical systems included in
this sector are potable water delivery pumps, sprinkler and irrigation controls, and stormwater management. The
systems identified for this report and used by the City were water delivery pumps and sprinkler and irrigation
systems. The source of San Rafael's water delivery emissions is from electricity consumption. Overall, electricity
usage declined 14% and emissions dropped 30%. The City purchased about 37% of electricity used in the water
delivery sector from MEA in 2010.

VEHICLE FLEET
The vehicles and mobile equipment used in San Rafael's daily operations include public works trucks and
equipment, police cars and motorcycles, fire trucks, and vehicles for use by administration and other department
staff. These vehicles and equipment burn gasoline and diesel, which result in greenhouse gas emissions. In
addition, vehicles with air conditioning use refrigerants that leak from the vehicle. In 2010, San Rafael operated a
fleet of approximately 170 vehicles.
Table 23 shows that total fuel consumption and emissions decreased by 8% between 2005 and 2010. Fuel
consumption decreased in all departments except the fire department, which increased 11%.
TABLE 23: VEHICLE FLEET EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
WASTE
Waste generated by government buildings and operations include organic material such as paper, food scraps,
plant debris, textiles, and construction waste. This organic material generates methane as it decays in the
anaerobic environment of a landfill. An estimated 75 percent of this methane is routinely captured via landfill gas
collection systems; however, a portion escapes into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
Emissions from waste are an estimate of methane generation that will result from the decomposition of all organic
waste sent to the landfill in the inventoried year, even though those emissions will occur over the 100+ year
timeframe that the waste will decompose.
Waste generated by governmental operations increased by 11% between 2005 and 2010, and emissions increased
by 12%. In particular, waste hauled by the City increased nearly 50%. This was due to a significant increase in

homeless encampment removals, brush removal in homeless encampment areas, and illegal dumping due to
adverse economic conditions.

EMPLOYEE CCSM`+ U TE
Emissions in the employee commute sector are due to the combustion of fuels used by City employees commuting
to and from work in San Rafael. Emissions dropped by 37%, due, in part, to a 15% reduction in the number of San
Rafael employees. Table 25 shows that vehicle miles traveled decreased by 24% between 2005 and 2010,
suggesting that the average commute may have decreased. Emissions per employee decreased 26%. This drop in
emissions may also be attributed to an improvement in the fuel efficiency of the vehicles that San Rafael
employees drive. However, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions from the data, as emissions are determined
from employee commute surveys, and changes from year to year may be due to differences in sampling. In
addition, the City endeavored to collect more detailed data on the vehicles City employees drove in 2010, and
emissions quantified for that year may be lower due to improved data collection.
TABLE 25: EMPLOYEE COMMUTE EMISSIONS, 2005 AND 2010
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
CONCLUSION
San Rafael has achieved significant early successes in reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the past five years.
Community emissions decreased by 8.1% between 2005 and 2010, putting the City on track to reduce emissions by
22% below the 2005 baseline year if the community continues to reduce emissions at the current rate. Emissions
decreased in all sectors except the wastewater sector.
More than 60% of total community emissions reductions came from a decline in emissions from electricity use in
the commercial and residential sectors. San Rafael can expect to see additional reductions from electricity
emissions as PG&E and the Marin Energy Authority add more renewable sources to their energy portfolios. Since
the Marin Energy Authority began supplying electricity to some of its customers midway through 2010, emissions
reductions attributed to the switch to MEA's greener electricity were not fully realized in that year. Therefore, San
Rafael will most likely see additional reductions in electricity emissions in subsequent years. An increase in the
number of customers who sign up for 100% renewable electricity from MEA could further reduce San Rafael's
community emissions.
Despite the potential for greener electricity, residents and businesses need to do their part to reduce energy
demand in homes and commercial buildings. Natural gas consumption increased in 2010, and emissions rose
lockstep with consumption. In order to reduce emissions from natural gas consumption, consumers can reduce
demand by better insulating and sealing buildings, turning down the thermostat, and installing solar -powered
water heaters.
Emissions reductions in the transportation sector had a significant effect on the bottom line. Further reductions in
transportation emissions can be expected as state mandates to increase vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce the
carbon intensity of transportation fuels take hold. Locally, the City can continue to implement programs and
provide infrastructure to increase travel by bicycle, foot, and alternative means of transportation. Electric vehicles
also offer much promise to reduce emissions significantly in the community, especially since the electricity
provided by local utilities is significantly lower in greenhouse gas emissions than most other electricity producers in
the rest of the country.
One of the brightest spots in the inventory came from the waste sector, which saw a reduction in emissions of
nearly 341. Programs to divert food waste from the landfill, recycle more construction and demolition debris, and
achieve zero waste goals in Marin County should continue to reduce emissions in this sector.
Within government operations, emissions decreased 19.2%. Emissions declined in most sectors, with the majority
occurring in the employee commute, public lighting and buildings and facilities sectors. About two-thirds of the
reductions occurred in the employee commute sector, which was due, in part, to a reduction in the number of City
employees between 2005 and 2010. Excluding employee commute emissions, total emissions from government
operations decreased 10.2%
San Rafael 2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
The City's decision to use Marin Clean Energy electricity for all facilities had a significant, positive effect on
emissions in 2010 and can be expected to further reduce emissions in subsequent years. The City can reduce
emissions even more by completing measures in its Climate Action Plan, including retrofitting additional
streetlights with energy efficient lamps, installing renewable energy systems, completing energy efficiency
upgrades, purchasing more fuel-efficient vehicles, and implementing commute incentives for City employees. Staff
should always be aware of the impact their decisions have on the environment.
San Rafael has made an excellent start. If the community's emissions are to continue to decline, then residents,
businesses, and other organizations must modify their energy consumption and travel patterns and support more
clean energy from utility providers. San Rafael can serve as a model to others in curbing greenhouse gas emissions
by implementing programs in the Climate Change Action Plan.

Waste emissions are calculated using ICLEI's Clean Air and Climate protection 2009 Software, Version 3.0. The
methane emission factors used in ICLEI's CACP Software were derived from the EPA WARM model. For
quantification of emissions, only methane generation (or gross emissions) is taken into account. These emissions
are estimated to take place over an extensive (up to 100 year) cycle, as anaerobically degradable organic carbon
decomposes in a landfill. More information on the WARM Model is available at:
http://epa.gov/cl i matechange/wycd/waste/calculators/Warm_home.html.
