1 GHG emissions the eThekwini experience

2 GHG Emission Inventory

3 GHG reporting in Durban Two previous inventories 2002 Full GHG emission inventory – data collected for Municipal contribution and estimated for Community or City-wide contribution 2004 The data collection was repeated and a summary published –Emissions from the greater Durban community (estimates only) –Data used to inform EMD Energy Efficiency project

4 eThekwini’s Approach: HEAT Online GHG emission calculator of ICLEI EMD existing relationship with ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability Improvement on Torrie Smith methodology A database that EMD could review and maintain themselves

5 What is HEAT? Online software to support local greenhouse gas and air pollution emission reduction planning Build an emissions inventory based on local energy use, transportation demand, and waste practices Help a user/city build a simple emissions forecast Set a target/goal for reducing emissions (e.g., reduce GHG emissions by 10%) Provide a database for storage of emission data Calculations using emission factors Quantify emission reduction activities and their co- benefits

6 Government inventory categories Government Structure: Buildings Vehicle fleet Employee commute Streetlights Water/sewage Waste Other

7 Community inventory categories Community Structure: Residential Commercial Industrial Transportation Waste Other

8 GHG data collection Contacted local Municipal departments Contacted EMD staff collecting the same data for SOER and State of Energy Department Worked with Enviros, State of Energy Report Major data contributor, South Africa Petroleum Industries Association Sugar Milling Research Institute eThekwini Electricity

9 Inventory Results

10 Municipality GHG Contributions

11 Community GHG Contributions

12 Inventory Comparisons

13 Observations Future reports should concentrate on addressing gaps in the data Various shortcomings in the software were identified – addressed ahead of future projects Verification of data at point of origin

14 Discussion and Questions
