1 Colorado s Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2013Update Including Projections to 2020 & 2030 Theresa Takushi Air Quality Planner, Air Pollution Control Division

2 Overview Process To Develop Inventory Layout of the Document Results Next Steps

3 Process To Develop Inventory Top-down approach Detailed description of the methodology used State Inventory Tool (SIT) model used Links major national data bases to calculation schemes Has consistency with other states Follows the international GHG protocol the U.S. agreed to follow for the national inventory Allows for customization of emission factors and activity assumptions Was updated by EPA in 2013 to improve the process using latest assumptions

4 Process To Develop Inventory Draft relies solely on SIT Model default values SIT Model allows customization to either better reflect Colorado s emissions or test alternative scenarios As a general rule inventory presents data as organized by model, but limited reorganization done to provide a more cohesive sector based analysis of GHG emissions in Colorado

5 Layout of the Document Executive Summary Synthesis Chapter Summarizes the results from entire model for the period from Projection Chapter Summarizes the results from the projection module ( ) Individual Chapters for Each Sector

6 Sectors Electrical Power Residential, Commercial, Industrial (RCI) Fuel Use Industrial Processes Coal Mining and Abandoned Mines Gas Production Agriculture Waste Management Land Use and Forestry

7 MMTCO2e Summary of Colorado GHG Emissions by emission sector SIT Model Runs (July 2, 2013 Analysis) Agriculture Waste Management Industrial Processes Gas Production Coal Mining & Abandoned Mines Residential, Commercial & Industrial Fuel Use Transportation Electric Power

8 Summary of Colorado GHG Emissions by emission sector SIT Model Runs (July 2, 2013 Analysis) Electric Power Transportation Residential, Commercial & Industrial Fuel Use Coal Mining & Abandoned Mines Gas Production Industrial Processes Waste Management Agriculture Grand Total Electricity Consumption N/A N/A Land Use & Forestry N/A N/A

9 Summary of Past and Projected GHG Emissions by Gas in Colorado (MMTCO 2 e) CO 2 CO 2 from Fossil Fuel Combustion Industrial Processes Waste Combustion and Landfills Total Emissions CH 4 Stationary Combustion Mobile Combustion Coal Mining & Abandoned Mines Natural Gas and Oil Systems Enteric Fermentation Manure Management Rice Cultivation Burning of Agricultural Crop Waste Waste Combustion and Landfilles Wastewater Total Emissions N 2 O Stationary Combustion Mobile Combustion Industrial Processes Manure Management Agricultural Soil Management Burning of Agricultural Crop Waste Waste Combustion and Landfills Wastewater Total Emissions HFC,PFC,and SF 6 Industrial Processes GRAND TOTAL Electricity Consumption Emissions (CO 2 Eq.) LULUCF N/A N/A

10 (MTCO2E) Gross GHG Emissions Per Capita,

11 (MTCO2E) Gross GHG Emissions per GSP,

12 Next Steps Accepting Comments on the Draft Inventory until March 15, 2014 Posted on the APCD s website comments to Theresa.Takushi@state.co.us Determine if any modifications need to be made Make edits as appropriate Issue a final document

13 Sectors That May be Tailored to Colorado Based on Comments Received Electrical Power Transportation Oil and Gas Coal Population Methane Emission Factor

14 Comments Received Electrical Power Energy Production vs Consumption Reflect Colorado Regulations Clean Air Clean Jobs, Regional Haze, Renewable Portfolio Standards Transportation Moves Vs Mobile 6

15 Comments Received Oil and Gas Transmission and distribution Projections Coal More reflective of actual production

16 Comments Received Population Census Data vs State Demographer s Office Methane Emission Factor
