8.D. - Page 77 <br /> Purchased electricity: These are emissions produced by the generation of pow�r from ukilities outside of the <br /> jurisdiction. <br /> Fugitive emissions: Emissions tl�at result from the Lmintentional release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere(e.g., <br /> leaked refrigerants,methane from waste decornposition,etc.). <br /> Process emissions: Emissions fromphy�ical or cherrrical processing of a material(e.�,wastewater treahnent). <br /> Information Items <br /> Inforn�ation iterns are ei�ni�sions soLnces t1�at are not included as Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions in the inventory,but are <br /> reported here separately in order to provide a more complete picttne of emissions from Redw�od Cit�s governinent <br /> operations. <br /> A coininon emission that is categorized as an information item is carbon dioxide emitted in the combustion of biogenic <br /> fuels. Local governinents will often b�n fuels tl�at are of biogenic origin (w�od, landfill gas, organic solid waste, <br /> biofuels, etc.) to generate poww�rr. Coininon soLnces of biogenic eini�sions are the combustion of landfill gas from <br /> landfills or biogas from wastewater treahnent plants, as w�ll as the incineration of organic irnmicipal solid waste at <br /> incinerators. <br /> Carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of biogenic fuels are not included in Scope 1 based on established <br /> international principles. Methane and nitrous oxide erni�sions from biogenic fuels are considered Scope 1 stationary <br /> combustion ei�ni�sions and are included in the stationary combustion sections for the appropriate facilities. These <br /> principles indicate that biogenic fuels (e.�, wvoc� biodiesel), if left to decornpose in the nattnal environinent, w�uld <br /> release COz into the atrriosphere,wizere it wvuld then enter back into the nattnal carbon cycle. Therefore,when wvod <br /> or another biogenic fuel is combusted, the resulting COz err�issions are aldn to natural err�issions and should therefore <br /> not be considered as hui�n activity-generated err�issions. The CH4 and Nz0 emissions, how�ver, w�uld not l�ave <br /> occ�red nattnally and are therefore included as Scope 1 emissions. <br /> Inforn�ation iterns quantified for this inventory include: <br /> • Scope 1 COz erni�sions frombiofuel constn�tion to pow�r back up generaters <br /> • Scope 1 COz erni�sions frombiodiesel consLn�tion to pow�r vehicle fleet <br /> The en-rissions categorized as information items in fhis inventory are presented below in Table 7. <br /> i i � � � � � � � � � � <br />
