ATTACHMENT A <br />Eugene Community Climate Action Plan 2.0 Additional Strategies <br />*Additional policy levers around natural gas may include 1) prohibiting financial incentives for installing natural gas servi ce; 2) <br />prohibiting financial incentives when purchasing natural gas appliances; 3) prohibiting the installation of natural gas appli ances; <br />and reducing the term of the franchise agreement to 10 years. <br />**Used for illustrative purposes only. Legislation varies by year. <br />Energy Used in Buildings Strategies Annual MT <br />CO2e Reduced <br />by 20301.Smart Energy Offset Program. Move to a mandatory or automatic enrollment <br />of NWN customers to participate in the Smart Energy Program, a carbon offset <br />program (100% participation in 2030 modeled here). <br />32,000- <br />320,000 <br />2.Regulate Natural Gas. Regulate new natural gas infrastructure (residential, <br />commercial, and industrial). <br />40,000 <br />3.Biogas and Renewable Hydrogen. Require NWN to fuel switch to biogas and <br />renewable hydrogen (10% switch modeled) <br />35,000 <br />4.Home Energy Score and Commercial Benchmarking Programs. These <br />programs require disclosure of energy performance of a building. <br />10,000 <br />5.Energy Efficiency and Fuel Switching: Support Incentives and Explore <br />Regulatory Options. Support existing energy efficiency programs and explore <br />ways to require more energy efficiency building standards. <br />Varies <br />Transportation Fuels Strategies <br />6.Transportation System Plan Updated to Meet CRO Goals. City adopts changes <br />to the Eugene 2035 Transportation System Plan goals, policies and projects to <br />fully meet CRO goals. Modeling is in progress to understand the additional <br />scope of work associated with this action. (TSP already accounts for 240,000 <br />MT CO2e annual reduction by 2030) <br />30,000-70,000 <br />7.Implement Eugene’s Electric Vehicle Strategy. Electrify the community’s on- <br />road passenger vehicles and light trucks as rapidly as possible. (15,000 EVs <br />modeled here.) <br />66,000 <br />Other Strategies <br />8.Lobby for State and Federal Action. State and federal action can have <br />significant impact at the local level. 2019 Oregon Cap and Invest Bill (HB 2020) <br />modeled here. <br />250,000** <br />9.Reduce Refrigerant Loss. Reduce refrigerant gases leaked from appliances. <br />(25% reduction modeled) <br />20,000 <br />10.Capture biogas from organic waste. Biogas from organic waste can be <br />captured and used as a renewable transportation fuel. (25% food waste <br />diversion modeled). <br />5,000 <br />11.Offset Program. Purchase carbon offsets.Varies <br />12.Community Innovation Fund. Support community initiatives for climate <br />mitigation and resiliency with small grants. <br />Varies <br />November 18, 2019, Work Session – Item 1
