2. Scope of Emissions Direct 1.0: Stationary Combustion Direct 2.0: Mobile Source Emissions Direct 3.0: Refrigerant and Air Conditioning Direct 4.0: Fire Suppression Systems Direct 5.0: Gas Waste Streams Direct Emissions Indirect 1.0: Purchases of Electricity Indirect 2.0: Purchases of Heat and Steam Indirect Emissions

3. Direct Emissions These sources are the result of leakeage of chemicals from refrigeration and AC devices. Types and amounts of refrigerants used Direct 3.0: Refrigerant and Air Conditioning Vehicles which generate emissions through the burnign of fuel. Fuel usage of city owned vehicles Direct 2.0: Mobile Source Emissions Sources that combust fuel onsite, like generators. Natural Gas bills Direct 1.0: Stationary Combustion The City of Fredericksburg does not utilize fire suppressants that emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Direct 4.0: Fire Suppresion Sources that combust gas streams. Regional Landfill Old Cool Spring Landfill Direct 5.0: Gas Waste Streams Direct Emissions Source CO 2 Emissions (metric tons) Stationary Combustion23,506 Mobile Sources2,569 Refrigeration/ AC Equipment Use3

4. Indirect Emissions Fossil fuels are combusted in order to generate electricity. Electric bills Indirect 1.0: Purchases of Electricity The City of Fredericksburg does not purchase heat nor steam; therefore, no data collection was necessary.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Baseline Inventory For The City of Fredericksburg, VA A baseline inventory of greenhouse gas emissions for Fredericksburg, VA for the fiscal year 2013 PROJECT BACKGROUND This emissions inventory accounts for the City of Fredericksburg’s greenhouse gas emissions during the fiscal year 2013. The inventory covers all city departments and their various emission sources. In order to calculate each source’s emissions in a standardized manner, the EPA Simplified Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculator (SGEC) was used. The tool’s methodologies and provided values are based on the most recent Climate Leaders Greenhouse Gas Inventory Protocol guidance. Fredericksburg’s emission sources were identified and broken down into the following categories: Stationary Combustion Mobile Source Refrigerant and Air Conditioning Leakage Gas Waste Streams Purchases of Electricity Data was then collected in order to quantify the emissions from each source.
