Service Description: <div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div>Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for Greater Philadelphia<a href='https://www.dvrpc.org/Products/18018' style='text-decoration:underline;'>https://www.dvrpc.org/Products/18018</a>Energy Use is defined as the BBTU (Billion British Thermal Units) equivalent of energy consumed by end point users. For electricity this is the BBTU equivalent of the electricity at point of consumption, not the heat content of the fuels used for electricity generation.Emissions (MTCO2E - Metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent) from the following sectors and fuel sources are not included in this allocation: enteric fermentation and manure management; commerical and general aviation; marine and port-related activity; off-road vehicles and equipment; freight and intercity passenger rail; coal; fuels used predominently in the industrial sector (e.g., petroleum coke); and land use, land use change, and forestry.Population and Employment data used in this analysis came from DVRPC's Municipal-level Poulation and Employment Forecasts.<ul><li>GEOID_10 - Unique GIS ID for Municipality.</li><li>ACRES - Total Municipal Acres.</li><li>USEACRES - Energy Use per Acres (BBTUs).</li><li>EUPOPEM - Energy Use per Person/Job (BBTUs).</li><li>EMIACRE - GHG Emissions per Acre (MTCO2E).</li><li>EMPOPE - GHG Emissions per Person/Job (MTCO2E).</li><li>EMSQACRE - GHG Emissions/Sequestration including Land Use, Land Use Change, and Foresty per Acres (MTCO2E).</li><li>EMSQPOPE - GHG Emissions/Sequestration including Land Use, Land Use Change, and Foresty per Person/Job (MTCO2E).</li></ul>DVRPC estimates that net GHG emissions decreased 10 percent from 2010 to 2015, from emissions equivalent to the release of 82 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MMTCO2e) to about 74 MMTCO2e. GHG emissions were 21 percent lower in 2015 than in 2005. The top three drivers of reductions between 2010 and 2015 were, in decreasing levels of significance, change in electricity generation mix (a cleaner electricity grid due to the continued switch from coal to natural gas), decreased on-road emissions per mile traveled, and decreased electricity consumption per household. Continued reductions will require sustained, concerted and aggressive action at the household, firm, community, regional, state, national, and global level, as well as continued technical advancement.
