4 Methodology International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis Protocol; Local Government Operations protocol for the Quantification and reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories. Replaced by: Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories: An Accounting and Reporting Standard for Cities.

5 Boundary. Terminology Carbon Dioxide equivalent CO2e. Activity data. Emissions factor: e.g. Electricity 1.03 kg CO2e. Global Warming Potential (GWP): CO2 (1), CH4 (28), N2O (265), SF6 (23,5000). Base year. Double Counting.

6 Basic Equation GHG = Activity data x Emission factor (units are critical!)

7 Accounting & Reporting principles Relevance. Completeness. Consistency. Transparency.

8 IE Included Elsewhere. Notation keys NE Not Estimated. NO Not Occurring. C Confidential.

9 Time Period 12 months (calendar year). Financial year.

10 Greenhouse gases Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Methane (CH4). Nitrous Oxide (N2O). Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Perfluorocarbons (PFCs). Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6). Nitrogen Triflouride (NF3).

11 Sector: Stationary Energy Residential buildings. Commercial & Institutional buildings & facilities. Manufacturing industries & construction. Energy industries. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing activities. Non-specified sources Fugitive emissions from mining, processing, storage, and transportation of coal. Fugitive emissions from oil and natural gas systems.

12 Sector: Transportation On-road. Railways. Waterbourne navigation Aviation. Off-road.

13 Sector: Waste Solid waste disposal. Biological treatment of waste. Incineration an open burning. Wastewater treatment and discharge.

14 Industrial Processes. Product use. Sector: IPPU

15 Livestock. Land. Sector: AFOLU Aggregate source and non-co2 emission sources on land.

16 Sector: Other (Scope 3) Examples in ethekwini Municipality: Eskom managed Streetlights. Flights.

DoE, traffic unit. 3 Diesel DoE, Transnet Distance travelled by type of vehicle and type of fuel. Distance travelled by type of vehicle and type of fuel Source: Adapted from GPC

22 Data Sources: Waste Emission Scope Type Source Activity data Data Sources: Transportation Solid Waste 1, 2 First Order of Decay, Methane commitment method Municipal, Private Amount of waste received/disposed at the landfill site Certified Emission Reduction 1 Waste composition approach Wastewater Treatment 1 Organic content based approach (CH 4, N 2 O) Municipal Municipal Mass of organic waste treated Emission generation potential

23 Data Sources: IPPU & AFOLU Emission Source Scope Type Source Activity data Industrial processes within Municipal boundary 1 F-gases, Pulp and Paper production Private. Mass of material input or product input Livestock 1 Livestock based approach Sugarcane 1 Land area based approach DAFF Municipal Number of animals by livestock category and manure management system Sugarcane are burnt, and mass of fuel available for combustion
