MAPC Community Greenhouse Gas Inventory Tool

Community Greenhouse Gas Inventory

This workbook serves to document the calculations associated with the community-wide greenhouse gas inventory comple
for the City/Town of _______ for the year of _______ . The inventory is designed according to the Global Protocol for
Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC) and includes raw data, assumptions, and calculations for the
in each of the following GPC emission sectors:

1. Stationary Energy
2. Transportation
3. Waste

In the All Emissions Summary and Multi-year Emissions trend there are tables where communities may enter data from Ma
Energy Insight to compare emissions from municipal operations energy use and fleet vehicles with the overall community-w
emissions. The tables are shown in GREEN. Please note, these emissions are included in the community-wide emissions an
not to in addition to the community-wide emissions.

Updating the work for other inventory years

If this workbook is to be used for creating emissions inventories for any year other than 2017, there are several tables wher
data is subject to annual or other periodic updates. The supporting data in these tables will need to be updated to reflect th
conditions or data from the year of interest.

Below is a list of tables to review and update prior to creating an inventory for another year. Instructions on where to collec
data for alternate years are provided in the "Adjust Inventory Year" section of this workbook.

Occasionally, the numbers used to assess Global Warming Potential will be updated or revised. This
change can be due to updated scientific estimates of the energy absorption or lifetime of the gases or to
changing atmospheric concentrations of GHGs that result in a change in the energy absorption of 1
additional ton of a gas relative to another. The Tool defaults to use the GWP values provided by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in the Fifth Assessment Report (2014). The Global Protocol
recommends using the most recent GWP values available.

These inputs should only be adjusted if a more recent Assessment Report has been released by the IPCC
with revised GWP values, or if this Tool is being used for a historic inventory requiring the use of older
GWP values.

Instructions:

Depending on the inventory year selected, new or revised emissions factors may be available for vehicle
fuels like diesel, gasoline, and compressed natural gas. Emissions factors can be sourced from either the
Climate Registry or US EPA. Both are free and publicly available - however, you will need to create a free
account to access the archive of emissions factors produced by the Climate Registry.

Instructions:
The Tool relies on data from the U.S. EPA's annual Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and
Sinks to determine protein consumption per capita. To adjust your inventory year, use the link provided to
navigate to the most recent summary report released by EPA.

1) Within the "List of Tables, Figures, and Boxes" navigate to Table 7-16. Input the value provided for the
inventory year for "Protein Consumed" in kg/person/year.

Instructions:
The wastewater emissions analysis follows the approach used by the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) to estimate wastewater treatment emissions for communities in
Massachusetts that are not served by an MWRA WWTP in the "Statewide Greenhouse gas Emissions
Level: 1990 Baseline and 2020 Business As Usual Projection Update" report.

A "Wastewater Module" Excel workbook was provided by Sue Ann Richardson of DEP
([email protected]) on 9/17/19. Data from the "Summary" tab of this workbook was used to
obtain data on State total methane and nitrous oxide emissions from municipal wastewater treatment for
2017 and the Massachusetts state population not served by MWRA.

For those communities not served by MWRA, please contact MassDEP for the wastwater module of the
State's GHG Inventory for the selected inventory year to obtain the following inputs.

Summary of Methodology Used

Total community-level electricity and natural gas consumption is provided through Mass Save Data. For communities that have municipal utilities or community choi
consumption data from these providers is also included. Utility-specific and rate-specific electricity emission factors were applied to the electricity consumption. A un
(TCR) natural gas emission factor was used to calculate natural gas emissions. Fuel oil consumption was estimated using U.S. Energy Information data on average
type, Massachusetts Executive office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) data on employment by sector, and American Community Survey data on res
natural gas, fuel oil and electricity consumption for the community is summed in a separate worksheet titled "Stationary Energy - Summary."

Summary of Methodology Used

The method for estimating emissions from off-road emissions sources uses the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES)
2014a. This is a publicly available EPA emission modeling system that estimates emissions for mobile non-road sources at
and county level for criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and air toxics. Proportional emissions data was extracted from
level data through the most applicable ratios available.

Summary of Methodology Used

This worksheet provides a summary of energy consumption and emissions in the Transportation Sector. On-road
transportation emissions are based on VMT estimates for vehicles registered in a community according to the Vehicle
Census of Massachusetts data. This approach is compliant with the GPC's "resident activity method" for estimating on-
road VMT. The VMT fuel mix is used to determine the portion of VMT that is from gasoline, diesel and electric vehicles.
Average fuel efficiencies of vehicles are then applied to estimate the gasoline, diesel, and electricity fuel consumption.
Fuel-specific emission factors are then applied to each type of fuel consumption to estimate emissions. On-road public
transportation (i.e. bus, trackless trolley) fuel consumption and emissions attributable to an individual community are
calculated using the frequency-weighted route distance in the community, the total system-wide frequency-weighted route
distance and the total system-wide fuel consumption. See the "Transportation - On Road" tab for more details. Rail
transportation emissions were also accounted for using a similar methodology for on-road public transportation. See the
"Transportation-Rail" tab for more details. Emission factors are explained on the "Emission Factors" tab.

Summary of Methodology Used

Private vehicle on-road transportation emissions were estimated using the GPC's resident activity method. This methodolog
uses municipality-specific data on number of registered vehicles, annual distance travelled, fuel type and fuel efficiency from
the Massachusetts Vehicle Census (MAVC). On-road public transportation, including buses and trackless trolleys, was also
accounted for utilizing data on distance travelled, route frequency, and energy consumption provided by the MBTA. The MB
provided data back to 2010, including annual fuel use by mode and fuel type, and annual vehicle miles traveled by mode. T
MBTA conducts its analysis based on fiscal year (July 1-June30), so calendar year estimates for 2017 are calculated as 50
of the value for FY17 and 50% of the value of FY18. On-road public transportation for buses operated by other Regional
Transit Authorities (RTAs) may be accounted for in Table 7.

The above table accounts for on-road bus emissions from Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs) operating within the city
boundary. Data must be collected by cities in order to estimate RTA emissions. Communities will need to discuss with RTA
the best methodology for estimating fuel consumption associated with bus lines going through an individual community. RT
may be able to provide a direct estimate of fuel consumption occurring within a city boundary or they may be able to provid
information on route distance travelled in the city, total route distance travelled by the RTA and total fuel consumption
associated with the RTA. This information could potentially be used to estimate total RTA fuel consumption attributable to a
single community.
