Orange County vehicle emissions factors from the EMFAC database were used and CO2 emissions were converted to CO2e by dividing by 0.95 (accounting for CH, and N,O). Community- and municipal - generated solid waste data was provided by the City. The City municipal staff has decreased significantly in recent years, and may decrease further in coming years. Because of this trend it was assumed that no growth The City of Santa Ana has established a goal to reduce community -wide emissions 15% by 2020. This goal will be measured against the 2008 baseline emissions of 1.96 MMTCO,e, The City's energy savings goal by 2020 is a reduction of 70 million kWh /year from 2008 baseline community usage. In addition, Santa Ana has established a goal to reduce community -wide emissions 30% by 2035. The energy savings goal by 2035 is 100 million kWh/ year. To meet the City's 2020 goal of 15% below 2008 baseline emissions, Santa Ana would need To effectively plan for meeting these goals, it is important to consider the impact that actions from the State of California will likely have on local emissions. Actions such as the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and vehicle fuel economy regulations will have a 75B -27 would occur in municipal operations; therefore BAU municipal operations emissions in 2020 and 2035 are expected to be the same as in 2008. a reduction of 400,000 MTCOZe. To meet the City's 2035 goal of 30% below 2008 baseline emissions, Santa Ana will need a reduction of 800,000 MTCOZe. For municipal operations emissions, the City has established goals of 30% reduction by 2020 and 40% reduction by 2035. A reduction of 9,700 MTCO,e is needed to reach the 30% municipal operations goal, and a reduction of 13,000 MTCOZe is needed to reach the 40% goal. The municipal operations energy saving goals are 15 million kWh /year by 2020 and 20 million kWh/year by 2035. far reaching impact reducing emissions. This reduction, combined with the reduction from measures already implemented by the City that are identified in Chapter 1, provides the starting point for the new actions that will be identified in Chapter 3.
