Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventories <br />Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions <br />Inventories <br />In this CAP, we used two types of GHG emissions inventories to inform the proposed climate action strategies: <br />1. 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 <br />from _� -<4kIED ■—■ <br />goose a ntl MM iii <br />services'u <br />GENERATION -BASED <br />GHG EMISSIONS <br />GHG emissions from <br />HOUSEHOLD use orMeI <br />- and electricity, and <br />consumption of <br />GOODS AND SERVICES <br />PRODUCED IN THE CITY <br />000 <br />CONSUMPTION -BASED <br />GHG EMISMNS <br />�1 <br />GHG emissions <br />from IMPORTED <br />goods and <br />sorvlcAs <br />City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan 35 <br />
