Eugene CAP2.0 as related to Climate Recovery Ordinance Targets and Goals <br /> <br />Page 15 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Large Lever Shareholder Methodology Description Assumptions <br />Existing Policy / Strategy / Action <br />Lane Community College <br />DRAFT Climate Action Plan Lane Community College's DRAFT Climate Action Plan has set a goal of carbon neutral <br />operations by 2050. LCC's goal combined with LCC's most recent GHG inventory is used to <br />estimate reductions in 2050 versus GHGs reporting in the baseline inventory. <br /> - Assumes LCC will meet climate goals as written <br /> - Assumes an equal, average rate of reduction between 2017 to 2050. CAP <br />Forecast only includes reductions for time period 2019 - 2030. <br />University of Oregon <br />DRAFT Climate Action Plan CAP still in development as of 2/2019. <br />Metropolitan Wastewater Management <br />Biogas to NG pipeline (project with NWN)Good Company worked with MWMC staff to perform a detailed GHG analysis and scenario <br />comparison for a variety of potential uses for the community's wastewater treatment <br />generated biogas supply. The analysis results are for the MWMC selected scenario, which is <br />to inject the biogas into NWNG's pipeline to be used as a vehicle fuel. The GHG analysis <br />considered all energy and process emissions sources required to produce the biogas, refine <br />to biomethane quality, and credits the fuel for displacing conventional fossil diesel fuel. <br /> - 100% of MWMC biogas is cleaned and injected into NWNG's pipeline <br /> - End-use for 100% of the biogas is to displace vehicle diesel fuel use <br />Lane Transit District <br />Fleet & Fuels LTD 2013 fuel use data - from the Eugene's 2013 Community Inventory - for buses is used in <br />conjunction with ODEQ fuel carbon intensity scores to estimate reductions associated with <br />shifting 50% of LTD's diesel use (B5) to Springfield Utility Board (SUB) electricity. Carbon <br />intensity scores are provided by Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to support <br />accounting for Oregon's Clean Fuels Program. NOTE: ODEQ's CI score for SUB electricity <br />uses market-based accounting. <br /> - By 2030 11 of LTD's 90 buses are fueled with electricity (or a comparable low- <br />GHG fuel type). This subsitution is estimated to reduce LTD bus fuel use by about <br />10% from current levels. <br />State of Oregon <br />Net-Zero Residential Building Code Planned net-zero building codes will apply to future, yet-to-be constructed properties. <br />Mitigation potential is calculated based on Eugene's average 2017 household emissions for <br />energy. Average household emissions are calculated using Eugene's 2017 Community GHG <br />Inventory and U.S. Census Bureau data. The number of new housing starts predicted for 2025 - <br />2032 is provided in a report titled Eugene Housing Needs Analysis prepared to support <br />Envision Eugene. The study finds that roughly 15,000 new housing units are required in <br />Eugene between 2012 - 2032. To estimate GHG / fossil fuel reductions for this actions, new <br />housing starts projected for the 2025 - 2030 time period are assumed to have zero-net energy <br />and GHGs. These reductions are only calculated for the period 2025 - 2030, but the <br />reductions associated with this code will span the 70 year life of these new structures. <br /> - Net-zero energy is equal to net-zero GHGs <br /> - New codes are implemented in 2025 <br /> - Assumed to not be included in existing EWEB load projections <br /> - Eugene housing needs, as defined in the analysis, are developed at a consistent <br />rate over the study time period (i.e. 15,000 / 20 years = 750 units / year) <br /> - Composition of housing types are consistent with Table 28 in the Eugene Housing <br />Needs Analysis <br />Net-Zero Commercial Building Code Planned net-zero building codes will apply to future, yet-to-be constructed properties. <br />Development projections for future, additional commercial space needs are not readily <br />available. Future commercial building energy use are estimated for the period, 2019 - 2030 <br />using 2017 commercial building emissions rates scaled up using a 1% annual compounding <br />growth rate to account for new community population. Population growth projections are <br />taken from Portland State University's Lane County Coordinated Population Forecast, 2015- <br />2065. To estimate GHG / fossil fuel reductions for this actions, new housing starts projected <br />for the 2025 - 2030 time period are assumed to have zero-net energy and GHGs. These <br />reductions are only calculated for the period 2025 - 2030, but the reductions associated with <br />this code will span the 70 year life of these new structures. <br /> - Net-zero energy is equal to net-zero GHGs <br /> - New codes are implemented in 2025 <br /> - Assumed to not be included in existing EWEB load projections <br /> - Commercial building development and related energy needs are assumed to be <br />equal to projected population growth <br />May 22, 2019, Work Session – Item 1
