<br /> <br />Figure (b): San Leandro Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions Breakdown (Residential and <br />Com m ereial/lnd ustrial) - Year 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />Residential <br />33% <br /> <br />Commercial <br />67% <br /> <br />Source: CAeI' Model output <br /> <br />Residential <br />In 2005, San Leandro's 82,400 residents consumed 154,884,113 KW-hours of electricity, or about 4,942 <br />K W-hours per household, and 12,617,590 therllls of natural gas, or about 403 therms per household. This <br />consumption resulted in a release of 118,611 tons of eC02. Major residential energy uses include <br />refrigeration, lighting and water heating. <br /> <br />Commercial/Industrial <br />In 2005, San Leandro's cOllllllercial/industrial sector buildings consumed 453,938,288 KW-hours of <br />electricity and 18,877,933 therms of natural gas. This consumption resulted in a release of 235,791 tons <br />of eC02 into the atmosphere. <br /> <br />Transportation Emissions <br />The transportation sector is responsible for about 38% of San Leandro's greenhouse gas elnlSSlons. <br />Motor vehicles driven within the City's geographical boundaries emitted approximately 215,126 tons of <br />eCO] in 2005. <br /> <br />Calculations for transportation emissions are based on figures for total vehicle miles traveled (YMT) in <br />the City of San Leandro. MTC supplied the necessary VMT data, while BAAQMD provided data that <br />enahled us to break down total VMT by percentage driven by a given vehicle type. <br /> <br />As a side note, ICLEI (in partnership with stall from the flay Mea Rapid Transit (BART) district) also <br />developed a methodology for allocating the greenhouse gases that BART emits as a major regional transit <br />provider. 7'lle resul/s 0/ this quantification arc meant to he i{{uslralivc and are nol included in Sun <br />Leandro 's (~O, hase/ine. lCLE\ generated the emissions estimates for I3A RT travel by collecting 2005 <br />elecLricity consumption data from I:3ART and then allocating that consllmption to Alameda County <br />jurisdictions based on ridership (exit counts from the relevant BART stations). As BART's source of <br />electricity through the year 2005 is hydropower, 2005 BART-related emissions are zero. 'fhat being said, <br />BART's fi.Jture fuel mix will not rely solely on hydropower. As such, based on ICLETs methodology for <br />allocating BART emissions to the jurisdictions that have access to a BART station, San Leandro is <br />projected to be allocated 34 I 7 tons of eCO} in 2020 (based on PG&E emissions factors). <br /> <br />City of San Leandro Baseline Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory <br /> <br />9 <br />
