New Rules: SB 1059 and HB 2001 set new rules for GHG emissions from passenger transport. 2. Old Processes, New Twists: new rules need new ways of thinking about on-going planning processes (Comp Plan & TSP). 3. Proactive = Flexibility: Local proactive action, (ahead of regulation from the state or region), allows Lake Oswego flexibility and opportunity. g9.9.4PJ background LGO versus community GHG inventory • local government operations inventory = GHG emissions from local government operations (your government's business model) - purpose: inform and educate - protocol: Local Government Operations Protocol - process: consistent with 16 other public entities • community inventory = GHG emissions from the lives and lifestyles of Lake Oswego citizens (the whole community) - purpose: inform and educate - protocol: none* - process: consistent with methodology used by Metro, Central Lane MPO, Rogue Valley MPO, Beaverton . oib background community GHG inventories • Why do them? - sets a baseline of performance Inventory - identifies emissions sources - informs actions (which slices to target) Set Goals • What don 't they tell us? - how we compare to our neighbors Implement - how to reduce emissions Measure Monitor .099,N1 background City of Lake Oswego's objectives • baseline — measure carbon footprint of Lake Oswego community • actions (for the City) — identify opportunities to reduce community GHG emissions while meeting multiple city goals — serve as a planner and steward of transportation and land use in the area — act as the leader and educator in our community on climate change and sustainability — act on (or mostly, educate about) the highest-leverage areas for change • connections — connect community GHG inventory results and planning initiatives at state, regional and local levels g9.9.4PJ community GHG inventory inventory boundaries and methodology • boundaries: City of Lake Oswego USB • emissions sources: energy, transportation (passenger, transit, air), consumption of goods and services, waste • data collection : hybrid of local data and locally- adjusted data from US and region • protocols for these emissions sources: The Climate Registry, World Resources Institute, Oregon DEQ, US EPA • protocols for these boundaries: none* community GHG inventory Lake Oswego Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2006) 1 .27 Million Metric Tons Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (Millions of MT CO2e) 29.9 Metric Tons CO2e per Lake Oswego Resident Emissions related to the production, Energy-related emissions manufacture and disposal of (Estimated 0.27 million M7 CO2e) materials, goods and food (Estimated 0.59 million MT CO2e) • Natural gas consumption by Energy residents and businesses Manufacture of products and 22% • Fossil fuel consumption from • food (from inside and outside Materials utilities' imported electricity the region) consumed by Lake 46% Oswego residents and businesses. • Freight movement of materials, goods and food • Waste management and recycling system (collection, = Transportation landfills) 111 31° Transportation emissions (Estimated 0.39 million MT CO2e) Local Government (operations) Local • Vehicle miles traveled by passenger vehicles (Estimated 0.02 million MT CO2e) 11 and light trucks Government 1 .5% • Operation of public transportation system • Public infrastructure projects (TriMet) • Owned fleet and employee commute transportation • Freight traffic inside Lake Oswego • Consumption of electricity and natural gas • Long-distance travel by Lake Oswego citizens good community GHG inventory punchline Ilia Energy Use Energy in Buildings Consumption22% of "Stuff" Materials 46% Transportation 31 % Movement of Local People Government 1 .5% ,frGOM PANY 9N community GHG inventory comparison of per capita emissions 2006 Per Capita Emissions Compared to Oregon's 2050 Goal and the IPCC Imperative for Developed Countries Government Total Emissions Materials • Transportation • Energy o 30 w 25 CD N 0 20 I- to 15 c 0 co 10 W c� 5 O 0 a U.S. Portland Metro Lake Oswego 2050 Oregon 2050 IPCC Goal Imperative (75% below (90% below 1990 Emissions) 1990 emissions) g9,911 community GHG inventory key insights and messages • materials (goods and food) matter as much as energy and transportation • sense-of-scale estimates for planning purposes • results are consistent with SB1059 (GreenSTEP) • inventory provides an advantage for grants • most major actions would also save money • Why did we have these insights? Because the method includes consumption-related emissions. � d background context for statewide effort • state and MPO goals in HB 2001 , SB 1059 - goals for the state, goals for MPOs Vibrant communities - transportation emissions. . .
