Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP)

Consumption-based emissions include emissions generated outside of the community to produce the goods and food consumed by Ashland residents.Sector-based emissions include locally-produced emissions from buildings, cooling systems, and water and waste processing. Level of certainty: LOW What’s included? • Household consumption of food and goods • City government consumption, including from the production of goods and some purchased services • Fuel productionLevel of certainty: HIGH What’s included? • Building energy use in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors • Transportation energy use • Methane emissions from waste disposal • Wastewater treatment • Emissions from refrigerants City Government Consumption Refriger antsTransport ation Fuel Production Solid W aste Stationar y Combustion WastewaterElectricityHousehold FoodHousehold Goods 50,000 100,000 0 Greenhouse Gas Emissions (MT CO2e)Consumption-b ased Sector -basedUnc ertainty (Dat a + Me thodology)High LowThere is some degree of uncertainty in any GHG inventory. This uncertainty can come from incomplete data or uncertainty in translating units of activity into emissions. Understanding the sources of uncertainty should improve future inventory and reporting efforts, including prioritization of additional data-gathering, framing inventory results, and developing mitigation goals and tracking systems. 21 ASHLAND CLIMATE & ENERGY ACTION PLANCLIMATE CHANGE & ASHLAND
