IMPLEMENTATION GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN EMISSIONS REDUCTION POTENTIALS BY GENERAL PROJECT The timeline included in this Plan is only one model for reaching emissions goals, meant to serve as a useful tool for staff, not a mandate. Staff may feel the need to deviate from the model used in this Plan, and shuffle projects around. In order to facilitate this reshuffling, the following table shows the general category improvements the Taskforce estimated reductions for between 2021 and 2045. Project Anticipated Emissions Reduction (MTCO2e) 90 Rolling Stock Transition 584 Electrifying Heating Systems 287 WRP Digester Heat Exchanger 234 Employee Commuting 213 Consumption and Materials Improvements93 Urban Forest Enhancement 51 TOTAL 1,462 Project Anticipated Annual Energy Cost Savings 91 Foothill Landfill Solar Field $334,592 Merlin Landfill Solar Field (small - max) $223,945 -$1,215,951 Pump Station Solar Field $36,270 PD Microgrid or Civic Center Microgrid $27,426 -$95,117 TOTAL $912,575 - $1,972,272ENERGY SAVINGS POTENTIAL FOR SOLAR LOCATIONS Projects in which the primary component is the installation of solar on a piece of property would not contribute to emissions reductions as much after Pacific Power begins switching over to renewables. However, these projects do provide significant contributions to projected cost reductions. If City staff want to reshuffle these projects while still staying within the 30% of baseline goal, or are interested in producing even greater, these ballpark estimates may prove a helpful guide as well. 85
