Generation -based GHG inventory — This measurement method helps us understand the level of <br />emissions based on energy use. It includes 1) direct consumption of energy, 2) consumption of energy via <br />the electrical grid, and 3) emissions from the treatment/decomposition of waste. This is the industry - <br />accepted methodology for quantifying community GHG emissions, with emissions reported by emission <br />source category. <br />2. Consumption -based GHG inventory — This measurement method helps us understand the level of <br />emissions based on consumption. It offers an alternative, more holistic, approach for quantifying emissions <br />within a community, quantifying consumption of goods and services (including food, clothing, electronic <br />equipment, etc.) by residents of a city, with emissions reported by consumption category. <br />This CAP discusses using both of these inventory methods, which are reviewed in the following sections. <br />Figure 7: Overlap Between Generation -based and Consumption -based GHG Inventories39 <br />;HG emissions <br />,om IMPORTED <br />oods and <br />orvlces <br />City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan 35 <br />351 <br />GHG emissions from <br />HOUSEHOLD use of fuel <br />and electricity, and <br />GHG emissions <br />consumption of <br />from <br />GOODS AND SERVICES <br />goods and �:' <br />PRODUCED IN THE CITY <br />services <br />;HG emissions <br />,om IMPORTED <br />oods and <br />orvlces <br />City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan 35 <br />351 <br />
