City of St. Lauds Park Greenhouse Gas Assessment
<br />City Operations, 2005 to 2015
<br />Assessment Scopes: The ICLEI Protocol categorizes GHG emission sources into 3 groups called
<br />scopes as follows:
<br />Scope 1: All direct GHG emissions from city operations (e.g. consumption of liquid fuels
<br />in city vehicles and natural gas consumption in city buildings).
<br />Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions associated with the consumption of purchased
<br />electricity or other energy sources not located within the city.
<br />Scope 3: All other indirect emissions not covered in Scope 2; namely, management of the
<br />solid waste generated by City operations, employee commuting and business travel,
<br />contractor services, and emissions from the treatment of the city's wastewater.
