Elk River GHG Baseline Inventory <br />10 <br />City Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br />GHG emissions for the 2015 City Operations Baseline year total 5,922.33 Metric Tonnes <br />(13,056,487 pounds) CO2e, an emission rate of 31.92 Metric Tonnes per employee (FTE), or 42.57 <br />pounds CO2e per City facility per year. The City Operations total GHG emissions represent <br />1.36% of Elk River community-wide GHG emissions*. City Operation emissions are as follows: <br />City Buildings and Grounds 3,252.68 Metric Tonnes (54.92%) <br />Streetlights and Signals 266.18 Metric Tonnes (4.49%) <br />City Vehicles 744.48 Metric Tonnes (12.56%) <br />Employee Travel and Transportation 347.21 Metric Tonnes (5.86%) <br />Water and Wastewater 1,303.58 Metric Tonnes (22.01%) <br />Solid Waste 8.06 Metric Tonnes (0.15%) <br />Total: 5,922.36 Metric Tonnes (100%) <br />* Community Wide total as reported by Regional Indicators Initiative <br />City Operations <br />Total <br />Annual Greenhouse Gas equal to: <br />Indirect GHG Emissions Not Included <br />The total GHG emissions captured by this assessment do not do not include indirect emissions <br />associated with city food and product purchases, or with services provided to the City of Elk <br />River such as professional consulting. On average, indirect full supply chain emissions <br />associated with products and services purchased equal 1 pound of CO2e per dollar spent. <br />116,202,806 <br />Cubic Feet of <br />Man-Made <br />Atmosphere <br />5,922.33 <br />Metric Tonnes <br />Buildings and Grounds <br />Solid Waste <br />Employee Transportation <br />Water and Wastewater <br />City Vehicles <br />Streetlights and Signals <br />Volume Visualization <br />The graphic above represents the volume of man-made GHG atmosphere produced <br />annually by the City of Elk River operations, broken down by category, shown in scale <br />with Elk River City Hall and Orono Lake in foreground.
