2.2.4. Go~ernrrtsnt C~erations Emissions Forecast <br />While the community emissions growth forecast is based upon known per capita energy consumption, <br />workforce expansion, and population growth projections, the forecast of growth within municipal <br />operations is based upon the expansion of City services or infrastructure. It was not within the scope of <br />this project to estimate growth of City infrastructure or services, and, therefore, the government <br />operations emissions forecast is not included. ICLEI advises that the City conduct such a forecast to be <br />included in this report at a later date, and to inform the process of selecting an emission reduction target <br />for City operations. <br />3. Conclusion <br />This analysis found that the Pleasanton community as a whole was responsible for emitting 813,337 <br />nretric tons of COze in the bare year 2005, with the transportation sector contributing the most (64.6%) to <br />this total The City of Plcasanton's municipal operations were responsible for 5,383 nteh•ic tons gfCOze <br />in the year 2005, with the greatest percentage of emissions coming from City buildings and the City <br />vehicle fleet. <br />fn addition to establishing the baseline for tracking progress over time, this report serves to identify the <br />major sources of Pleasanton emissions, and therefore the greatest opportunities for emission reductions. <br />fn this regard, the emissions inventory ought to inform the areas of focus within the Pleasanton Climate <br />Action Plan. <br />Following the ICLCI methodology, we also recommend that the City of Pleasanton utilize the inventory <br />to begin to consider potential greenhouse gas reduction targets for the community and for municipal <br />operations. <br />2005 QeenhtouseC~s Emissions Irnentory, Cityof Reasanton 16 <br />
