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 />GHG emissions 00 <br />from _�. -<44 LIED ■—■ <br />gootls a ne MM iii <br />services'u <br />GENERATION -BASED <br />GHG EMISSIONS <br />GH G emissions from <br />HOUSEHOLD USL%0FMeI <br />- and electricity, and <br />consumption of <br />GOODS AND SERVICES <br />PRODUCED IN THE CITY <br />000 <br />CONSLIMPTION-EASE❑ <br />GHG EM15WNS <br />1W <br />GHG emissions <br />from IMPORTED <br />goads and <br />sorvlcas <br />City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan 35 <br />471 <br />
