<br /> <br />Figure (a): San Leandro Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Year 2005 <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />Trans portation <br />38% I <br />\ <br /> <br />Residential <br />21% <br /> <br /> <br />Commercial <br />41% <br /> <br />Source: CAep Model outpllt <br /> <br />EnerlrY / Stationary Source Emissions <br />In 2005, San Leandro's total stationary energy consumption was about 608,822,40 I kWh or electricity <br />and 31,495,521 then11S of natural gas. Stationary energy use by all sectors (residentiaL commercial and <br />industrial activities) accounts for 62% of total greenhouse gas emissions in San Leandro. These <br />emissions arc a result or the combustion of fossil ruel. San Leandro's stationary energy use resulted in a <br />total of approximately 354,402 tons of eC02 emissions in 2005. <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro receives its electricity from Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E). The <br />2005 emissions coefficients for electricity provided by PG&E are included in the notes in Appendix R. <br />The types of power sources that make up a utility's electricity generation mix have a significant impact on <br />a city's greenhouse gas emissions. A coal fired power plant, for example, releases 1.3 tons of ee02 per <br />megawatt-hour of electricity generated versus 0.7 tons for gas turbines and 0 tons for renewable sources <br />such as solar, wind, or hydroelectric power. <br /> <br />Figure (b) shows the breakdown of greenhouse gas em issions by sector for both electricity and natural gas <br />combined. Of the total 354,402 tons of eC02 emitted due to energy use, 33% was from residential <br />buildings and 67% was from commercial/industrial buildings. <br /> <br />City of San Leandro Baseline CJreenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory <br /> <br />8 <br />
