Eugene CAP2.0 as related to Climate Recovery Ordinance Targets and Goals <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />fuel use (e.g. methane from waste disposal, fugitive refrigerant loss, etc.), progress towards the GHG <br />goal is less than the CRO fossil fuel targets. <br />As can be seen, existing CAP2.0 policies are not forecast to achieve CRO GHG goals. A “gap” remains <br />equal to about 470,000 MT CO2e of local GHG emissions. <br />Figure 4: Sector-based emissions and existing policy forecast. <br />Note: GHG Goal value in figure based on Good Company CRO interpretation and is subject to change. <br /> Note: GHG Goal value in figure based on Good Company CRO interpretation and is subject to change. <br /> <br />To address the gap, City of Eugene asked Good Company to recommend additional actions to achieve <br />CRO goals and targets by 2030. See GC memo titled Recommendations for Additional Eugene Climate <br />Actions to Meet Eugene’s Climate Recovery Ordinance Targets and Goals for a full list of recommended <br />actions. City staff selected a group of Good Company’s recommended actions. <br /> <br />Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the “gap” actions and scenarios considered. <br /> <br />The top row of Figure 5 lists the local, Sector-based GHG and Fossil Fuel Use gaps (470,000 MT CO2e <br />and 4.4 million MMBTU respectively). These values correspond to the far right-hand grey bars on <br />Figures 3 and 4. The lower rows in Figure 5 describe the action and scenario; corresponding GHG / <br />fossil fuel reduction; and the percentage of the gap addressed by the action/scenario. <br /> <br />Figure 6 graphically presents the same information as Figure 5 for a select group of actions. The left- <br />hand grey bar is equal to the local, Sector-based CRO gap. The other bars compare the scale of <br />reduction potential for actions / scenarios to the gap. As can be seen, some of the larger actions include <br />State of Oregon adoption of a Cap-and-Invest program; community adoption of electric vehicles; and <br />community participation in Northwest Natural’s Smart Energy program. <br />After accounting for <br />population growth and CAP <br />reductions from existing policy <br />– there remains a “gap” of <br />about 470,000 MT CO2e to <br />reach the CRO 2030 GHG <br />Goal (green dotted line). <br />May 22, 2019, Work Session – Item 1
