Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventories <br />• "Business -as -usual" (BALI) emissions — This projection represents the emissions expected if the 2015 <br />patterns of travel, energy and water consumption, and waste generation/disposal were continued throughout <br />time. This projection factors in the expected rate of City population and job growth through 2030. Under the <br />BAU scenario, Redwood City emissions are projected to increase by 14.5 percent in 2030 (85,868 MTCO2e), <br />relative to 2015. <br />• Adjusted forecast (State measures plus PCE) — This projection incorporates the same factors as the BAU, <br />but also includes key State policies such as clean car standards, renewable portfolio standard, zero net <br />energy building, and organics recycling. It also includes the effect of Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) operating <br />in San Mateo County. Switching from PG&E to PCE in 2017 gave Redwood City an initial 55,538 MTCO2e <br />reduction in energy emissions by providing a cleaner fuel mix for energy generation than the State provided. <br />By 2045, the Renewable Portfolio Standard will have closed that gap by forcing all electricity providers to offer <br />a similarly clean mix of energy. <br />• CAP reduction measures — This is the reduction necessary to reach the 2030 goal. In this CAP, Redwood <br />City is committing to take the actions need to meet this target. Those actions are described in Chapter 6: <br />Strategies and Actions. Emissions are projected to decrease 51.4 percent (365,856 MTCO2e) by 2030. <br />Figure 12.
