The transportation sector’s use of gasoline and diesel fuels dominates the current GHG emissions <br />signature of Eugene. The next highest contributions to Eugene’s emissions are the residential <br />and commercial use of natural gas. These four components will need to be a major focus of <br />GHG reduction strategies for significant reduction to occur in the overall level of GHG <br />emissions in Eugene. Given the extremely low impact of electricity on Eugene’s GHG footprint, <br />it will be challenging, but important, to maintain the low emissions levels related to electrical <br />generation as demand for electricity increases or if use of electrical energy instead of other forms <br />of energy is encouraged as a strategy. <br />Figure10-2005EugeneCommunity-Wide <br />CO2EmissionsbyEconomicSectorand <br />FuelSource <br />Residential <br />Residential <br />NaturalGas, <br />Electricity,3% <br />18% <br />Commercial <br />Electricity,3% <br />Transportation <br />Gasoline,40% <br />Commercial <br />NaturalGas, <br />14% <br />Industrial <br />Electricity,5% <br />Transportation <br />Diesel,11% <br />Industrial <br />AllOther <br />NaturalGas, <br />Sources,1% <br />5% <br />13 <br />
