RC 5 GHG Emissions

data.sustainablesm.org | Last Updated 23 Mar 2022

Carbon emissions are generated from the use of fossil fuels, primarily coal, natural gas, gasoline and diesel. Fossil fuels consumed at the community level as well as the City operations level are tracked and converted into carbon dioxide equivalents (metric tons or MTCO2e). The City develops plans, policies and programs to help reduce the carbon footprint of the community and its operations.
