^.\,�, <br /> Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Climate Adaptation Actions to r <br /> IntegratedBuild Local Resilience to Climate Change *���►�� <br /> Greenhouse Gas Inventory <br /> Sources of emissions for Hawai'i County are documented by the County of Hawai'i 2017 Greenhouse <br /> Gas (GHG) Inventory. This inventory informs key intervention points; helps identify and prioritize sector- <br /> specific carbon mitigation and reduction strategies, and aids as a benchmark to gauge progress. Data <br /> for this report was collected from seven GHG-producing sectors made up of 42 sources, for the years <br /> 2005, 2015, and 2017 (Figure 10). These sectors and sources correspond with the State's GHG <br /> inventory, which was developed in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG <br /> I nventories. <br /> Sector Emission Totals by Year <br /> 2 <br /> N <br /> U 1.5 <br /> f- <br /> 0 1 <br /> U <br /> O <br /> c <br /> �0 0.5 <br /> U <br /> i <br /> a-+ <br /> cv <br /> C Q ilillllllll. ,�u ■ .XPi ' <br /> O u <br /> Transportation Commercial Industrial Energy Residential rAFOLUNI Water and Solid Waste <br /> &Mobile Energy Energy Wastewater <br /> Sources <br /> AFOLU=Agriculture,Forestry,and Other Land Use <br /> ■2005 Iul 2015 ■2017 <br /> Figure 10.Hawaii County sector overview of MTCO2e emissions for years 2005,2015,and 2017 <br /> The County of Hawai'i GHG Inventory is guided by the Global Protocol for Community-Scale <br /> Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories and estimates GHG emissions that occur in the County's <br /> jurisdiction encompassing the entire island of Hawai'i. The Global Protocol is a carbon emissions <br /> accounting and reporting standard for cities and municipalities developed by the World Resources <br /> Institute, C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, and the International Council for Local Environmental <br /> Initiatives Local Governments for Sustainability. <br /> In 2017, overall emissions had decreased by 23 percent since 2005. The Transportation and Mobile <br /> Sources sector remained relatively stagnant over the years and remained the largest contributor to <br /> greenhouse gas emissions. Notably, Aviation accounted for 51 percent of total transportation <br /> emissions, compared to 32 percent from On-Road Motor Gasoline. The second largest contributor was <br /> Commercial Energy, but emissions from this sector decreased by approximately half between 2005 and <br /> 2017. The Residential Energy sector was the third largest contributing sector in 2005, but emissions <br /> from residential energy steadily declined due to —28 percent increase in renewable energy capacity.
