Plan Impact The Goals, Strategies, and Initiatives outlined above are estimated to achieve a 55% reduction in total GHG emissions from business as usual in 2030. Most of these savings are achieved through strategies associated with the energy used in buildings. Figure 10 represents the carbon reductions across each sector. The wedges denoted by shades of red indicate buildings emissions reductions. The blue shading indicates reductions from an increase in renewable electricity, the green and purple wedges represent travel and waste emissions reductions, respectively. Building energy efficiency reduces energy consumption, resulting in a 21.7% reduction in community -wide emissions. Increasing the use of renewable electricity results in an additional 23.0% emissions reduction. Vehicle travel efficiency and decarbonization strategies provide 8.4% emissions reduction, and the elimination of emissions from solid waste contributes the final 1.1% savings. By 2040, many of the implemented actions will continue to reduce emissions such that the city will achieve an estimated 62% reduction in emissions by 2040, as compared to business as usual. The light gray space between the dotted and dashed lines represents the 38%of emissions that remain if city is successful in achieving the 2030 goal. Achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 will require the city to explore and implement the advanced strategies that are described in the next section. tonnes CO2e 1,000,000 — 900,000 — 800,000 — 700,000 600,000 500,000 400,000 300,000 200,000 100,000 PLANNED EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS BY SECTOR ■Commercial/Industrial Efficiency ■ Residential Efficiency ■ Electric Grid Mix Renewable Energy ■ Travel Strategies ■ Waste Strategies 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 Business -As -Usual --- Strategic Plan •••••, Goal Figure 10 Planned emissions reductions by sector through 2030.
