2. GHG Inventory and Forecast Consumption -Based Inventory Emissions The GHG inventory resented for San Leandro is a rotocol-com liant roduction-base inventory, which means that it assesses the GHG emissions produced by activities occurring in the community.' However, the inventory does not account for most of the emissions created by the consumption of material goods or use of services in San Leandro includin emissions from the manufacture and transportation of goods purchased in the communit food grown and processed in other locations air travel by San Leandro communit members and the disposal or reprocessing of certain materials and products. For exam I if a San Leandro community member purchases new clothes from a local store, the production -based inventory will include vehicle emissions for the trip to and from the store, energy use at the store and home, and any landfilled waste generated. It would not include emissions from the growing and processing of the raw materials in the clothes th manufacturing of the clothes transportation of the clothes to the store or the relDrocessin of any waste materials that do not end up in a landfill unless these activities occur within the San Leandro city limits. In contrast to a roduction-based inventory, a second type of GHG inventory, known as consumption -based inventory, looks at a wider array of GHG emissions created by th goods and services used by San Leandro community members including resident businesses and employees. A consumption -based inventory assesses emissions associate with the manufacture transportation, and disposal of thesegoods and services regardless of where they occur. Such inventories can orovide a more com lete oicture of the GHG emissions associated with the lifestyle and consumer behavior of San Leandro communit members. A consum Lion -based inventory is more complex to prepare than a roduction-base one. There are no established protocols and methods for consumption -based inventorie and California does not yet have a statewide consumption -based inventory or an guidance for preparing one. Due to these limitations the lDrooect team did not preDare one as part of this 2021 CAP. In 2015, BAAQMD worked with the Cool Climate Network ct the University of California Berkeley, to prepare a consumption -based inventory for all Ba Area jurisdictions. 27 This inventory includes GHG emissions from the following sources: • Travel: GHG emissions from fuel use by on -road vehicles, vehicle manufacturina an repairs, public transportation, and air travel. • Housing: GHG emissions from electricity and natural gas use in homes as well as oth r fuels associated with home heating such as kerosene or fuel oil electricity emission inventory.
