2005 Daly City Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory 8
Methodology This greenhouse gas emissions inventory follows the standard methodology outlined in LGOP, which was adopted in 2008 by ARB and serves as the national standard for quantifying and reporting greenhouse emissions from local government operations. By participating in the Silicon Valley Climate Protection Partnership, Daly City has the opportunity to be one of the first in the nation to follow LGOP when inventorying emissions from government operations. This chapter outlines the basic methodology utilized in the development of this inventory to provide clarity to how the inventory results were reported. Specifically, this section reviews: What greenhouse gases were measured in this inventory. What general methods were used to estimate emissions. How emissions estimates can be reported (the scopes framework, roll-up numbers). How emissions estimates were reported in this inventory. A more detailed account of LGOP and the methodology used in this inventory can be found in Appendices A and B. 2.1 Greenhouse Gases According to LGOP, local governments should assess emissions of all six internationally recognized greenhouse gases regulated under the Kyoto Protocol. These gases are outlined in Table 2.1, which includes the sources of these gases and their global warming potential (GWP).7 7 Global warming potential (GWP) is a measure of the amount of warming a greenhouse gas may cause, measured against the amount of warming caused by carbon dioxide. 2005 Daly City Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory 9
