<br />Municipal emissions in San Leandro constitute about 1.29% of San Leandro's total emissions. Local <br />government emissions typically fall between I to 5 percent of overall community emissions. As a minor <br />contributor to total emissions, actions to reduce municipal energy use may have a limited impact on San <br />Leandro's overall community emissions levels. However, municipal action has symbolic value and <br />demonstrates leadership that extends beyond the magnitude of emissions actually reduced. <br /> <br />Enerl!y/Stationary Source Emissions <br />In 2005, San Leandro municipal buildings and f~lcilities consumed 3,769,866 KwII of electricity and <br />95,174 therms or natural gas, which resulted in a release of ] ,578 tons of eCOl emissions into the <br />atmosphere. Municipal streetlights and trarric lights consumed 3,697,040 kWh of electricity, which <br />resulted in a release of 970 tons of eCOl emissions into the atmosphere. The Water and Sewage sector <br />consumed 3,632,746 kWh of electricity and 15,687 therms or natural gas which released approximately <br />1,051 tons or ee02. <br /> <br />Transportation Emissions <br />The City's vehicle fleet consumed approximately 280,161 gallons of fuel and emitted about 3,773 tons or <br />eC02. The municipal fleet includes all vehicles owned and operated by the City or San Leandro plus <br />some contractor vehicles performing City tlmctions (e.g., Waste Management garbage trucks). <br /> <br />Solid Waste Emissions <br />The City sent about 3,033 tons of solid waste to the landfill in 2005. Based on available data and the <br />methodology employed by U.S. EPA 's WARM model, municipal waste emissions appear to be slightly <br />negative at -910 tons eC02. As was discussed in the section on community solid waste emissions (see <br />page 10), this negative number will be zeroed out for the purpose of this inventory <br /> <br />Table (4): San Leandro's Emissions Summary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />J. f, ~, 'I <br /> <br /> <br />Base year <br /> <br />2005 <br /> <br />2005 <br /> <br />_~,....,..,......_,."_,\......"..,....__,~__~.,__~.___~J.."~___~.' <br /> <br />Quantity of eC02 emissions in <br />base ear tons) <br /> <br />569,528 <br /> <br />7,372 <br /> <br />Source CACP Model Output <br /> <br />City of San Leandro Baseline Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory <br /> <br />12 <br />
