Please detail sustainability goals and targets (e.g. GHG reductions) that are incorporated into your city’s master plan and describe how these are addressed in the table below.
The rapid growth of new energy power generation has promoted the optimization of the power production structure. As of 2018, the city’s annual power generation from gas-fired power generation, waste heat and pressure power generation, and waste incineration accounted for 32.5% of the total power generation. In addition, biogas power generation was 11 million kWh, wind power generation was 1.046 billion kWh, and nearly 60 megawatts of photovoltaic power generation. Power generation projects have been completed one after another, and they have begun to play a demonstration effect. In 2018, photovoltaic power generation was 332 million kilowatt-hours. Compared with the gap in this field in 2010, our city has made significant progress in the use of new energy, but it is still just getting started and there is still huge room for development.

Please provide details on your city’s energy efficiency targets.
The number of inhabitants in Trondheim is projected to increase between 2013 (base year) and 2030 (target year). The goal of obtaining a stable energy consumption level for this period therefore implies more efficient energy use of approximately 20 %. Stationary energy consumption from electricity, district heating and oil/gas boilers are included in this metric. Key plans/measures to contribute to this goal: Promote the construction of zero and energy positive energy neighbourhoods/building areas through pilot projects, including the Horizon 2020 project +CityXChange. This and other pilot projects/area are identified and being implemented in a collaboration with knowledge institutions and commercial partners (with national and EU funding). In addition, the national energy agency in Norway (Enova) provide funding schemes for traditional energy efficiency measures in existing and new buildings, as well as funding schemes for innovative energy solutions on area level. Percentage of target achieved: Stationary energy use per capita was approximately 18,3 MWh in 2013 and 16,7 MWh in 2019, a reduction of 8,8 %

The following explanation is conceptual only and does not represent modelled nor projected economic analyses of the LNG opportunity considered by 7G. The range of values provided are premised on a conservative set of assumptions and are meant to be indicative of the potential scale of the opportunity. A hypothetical projection of the potential opportunity associated with selling Kakwa derived natural gas into China as LNG using conservative estimates of both volume and realized price, indicate a potential annual increase in natural gas revenues of $3.6 million (net) to $21.5 (net) million per year. This range is premised on 10 to 60 percent of 7G's 2018 annualized daily natural gas production of 491 MMcf/d receiving a $0.20/Mcf premium to index.

To calculate the total savings, we took the weight of steel saved, multiplied by the cost of the steel, and then subtracted off the payment we would've received to recycle the waste from the lower yield process that's no longer present. Approximately 42.6 cents per lb of steel, times 6,102,901 lbs of steel saved, equals 2.6 million. Then, we subtracted $100,000 from the total for revenue we aren't receiving from recycling the scrap in the prior process for a total of 2.5 million.

Account for your organization’s Scope 3 emissions, disclosing and explaining any exclusions.
The scope of emissions reported in this category includes the upstream emissions from purchased fuel and electricity and emissions from the generation of electricity that is consumed (i.e., lost) in transmission and distribution. An economic input-output based life cycle assessment (EIO LCA) was used to calculate emissions due to extraction for all fuel types consumed by BNY Mellon and power generation supply of electricity. The EIO LCA model was based on dollar spend for fuel and electricity costs. Emission factors are sourced from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The GHGs included are CO2, CH4, N2O, and HFCs. The GWPs are sourced from the IPCC SAR100-year values. Transmission and distribution losses (electricity and steam losses that occur between the point of generation and delivery to the customer) are estimated as 5.0 percent of gross generation for U.S. electricity as per the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Annual Energy Review dated January 2019; 20 percent of gross consumption for steam as per EPA Emission factors for Greenhouse gas inventories March, 2018; and 6.3 and 9.6 percent of gross generation for non U.S. OECD and non-OECD countries respectively as per the International Energy Association's (IEA's), Electricity Information 2017. The data is assumed to be accurate based on the estimated electricity and steam line losses per the EIA, EPA and IEA and based on actual electricity consumption in the U.S. and the rest of the world. To arrive at the emissions, eGRID emissions factors are used for electricity generation based on where BNY Mellon facilities are located and electricity usage in the U.S. eGRID sources the GWPs from the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) year values. IEA emission factors are used for the rest of the world where BNY Melon facilities are located.

Västervik Municipality is located by the Baltic Sea in south-east Sweden. Västervik covers one of the largest municipality areas in the southern part of Sweden. The land area covers 1875 km² and is sparsely populated. In the municipality live around 36000 inhabitants, of which just over 21000 live in the central town Västervik and 3000 in Gamleby. Other live in smaller urban areas or in the countryside. Västervik archipelago is characterized by deep bays, long narrow peninsulas and small islands with rocky beaches. There are nearly 5000 islands and the total coastline is 550 km. The archipelago is classified as an area of national interest for nature conservation, outdoor recreational activities and commercial fishing.Västervik town is seen as an important service node for the north-eastern province of Småland/Kalmar County and is counted as a separate labor market region. Västervik town is strengthening its position as the regional Centre and engine of growth through new business establishments. Västervik has an extensive service sector; about 25 % are working with health care, The second largest sector is the manufacturing industry (about 20% of the employees). Agriculture and forestry are also important in the region as well as tourism. Västervik receives 1.5 million visitors per year.The sparse population structure means that it is difficult to get an attractive and sustainable public transport within the whole municipality district and car dependence is considerably higher than in densely populated metropolitan areas. Here is a big challenge in solving the future transport system with fossil fuel-free fuels.https://www.vastervik.se/globalassets/kommun-och-politik/kommunfakta/scb/kommunfakta-fran-scb-om-vasterviks-kommun-2018.pdf

Exelon has 25 LEED certified buildings which it maintains to ensure continued optimal performance. In addition, Exelon is continually working to improve space use and consolidation operations and employees from older, less efficient spaces as possible. Our newest LEED certified corporate headquarters in Baltimore, has onsite solar generation, high efficiency building systems, high efficiency lighting and elevators and maximizes space and use of natural lighting for employees. The GHG savings is the differences in the emissions from building energy use from 2018 to 2019, and may capture some changes due to weather and/or grid emission rates. Savings is based on reduced MWh used for our commercial buildings from 2018 to 2019, assuming a cost of $0.118/kwh, as well as a reduction of mmbtu of natural gas use for heating at a cost commercial retail cost of $7.89/mscf. Costs, savings and payback are not directly applicable for these projects as there were many other business considerations associated with the design and construction of these spaces. This is accounted for as 1 project implemented under 4.3a, and directly relates to our GHG reduction goal as described in 4.1a Abs1.

Interventions in Municipal Pools at smart energy management level and the promotion of energy efficiency improvement aim to support the transition to a low carbon economy through the implementation of various energy efficiency and energy cost reduction measures. , namely:1. Lighting system replacement2. Replacement of showers3. Replacement of propane boilers by biomass boiler4. Thermal insulation of horizontal opaque envelope5. Replacement of glazed windows6. Installation of tank water plane cover7. Replacement of recirculation pumps8. Installation of a centralized technical management systemThus, it is considered that this Application continues the development of the National Strategy.Taking into account the objectives of the operation, it can be concluded that the implementation of energy efficiency measures in Coruche Municipal Pools is framed in Portugal 2020 - National Reform Program (PNR 2020), since it is intended to:I - Reduce GHG emissions;II - Promote energy efficiency.Interventions in Coruche Municipal Pools to improve energy efficiency fall under Article 36 (c) of the Specific Regulation on Sustainability and Resource Use Efficiency, as well as the type of operations announced in point 2.1. (a) the opening notice “Energy Efficiency in Local Government Public Infrastructure”.Specifically in the municipality of Coruche, charges for electricity and public buildings / infrastructures in 2017 represented about 46% of the total cost of electricity. Given the high need for reducing the energy bill and having a clear opportunity to meet and contribute to the P2020 goals, this project has been proposed as a solution for energy optimization with the consequent reduction of primary energy consumption in Municipal Pools through operations recommended in the notice.

Extreme heat waves are expected to be more frequent than extreme cold fronts. Without reducing energy consumption, extreme weather could increase our energy use by about 10% to 20% in summer months with heave waves, depending on the duration of the heat waves. This is most likely in the U.S. and Europe. Per review of BMS's 2017 weather adjusted data, there has been a 1.41% increase in electricity consumption and an offsetting .94% decrease in natural gas consumption. The estimated net impact projected for a 3 year medium-term time horizon based on actual energy costs incurred, results in an expenditure increase in energy associated with higher temperatures. Please note the weather adjusted data does not incorporate any factors relating to changes in production.

What methods do you use to drive investment in emissions reduction activities?
Praxair is actively investing in innovation and business development in order to meet customer demand for products with a lower carbon footprint. For example, to maintain an environmental innovation stream, Praxair has a target that our sustainability portfolio - applications that bring customers sustainability benefits - should exceed 50% of revenue, 2016-2020. In 2017, Praxair's sustainability portfolio was 58% of revenue, or $6.6 billion. This focus on environmental innovation is yielding positive market results. Praxair's Global Market Development organization raises awareness of applications within our sustainability portfolio across a broad range of markets and regions. For example, in photovoltaics, Praxair is developing and promoting the use of its products throughout the PV supply chain. We also raise awareness by providing information about products in our sustainability portfolio on our website. For example, we show how Praxair CO2 can be used in industrial applications where the carbon is chemically "fixed" and not emitted to the atmosphere; see Praxair.com/our-company/sustainable-development/climate-change. By working towards the sustainability portfolio target, Praxair is able to increase the likelihood and magnitude of our opportunity to meet consumers' demands for climate friendly products and applications. We expect these opportunities to materialize regularly, as we are constantly looking for ways to increase our sustainable growth portfolio.

Cost of Mitigation Efforts in the Community The costs for mitigation will include FEMA, other federal agency, state, local, and private dollarsspent on the mitigation activities. This "dollars-spent" assessment should include administrativeand maintenance costs and indirect costs. Costs also should include relevant opportunity costs,i.e. the value of alternatives foregone to achieve the mitigation activity. The costs of mitigationinclude:- Direct expenditures on relocation, construction and transportation- Costs generated by rules and regulations setup in the name of hazard mitigation (e.g,possibly lower property values due to new zoning restrictions) - Denial of access to economic resources due to zoning- Increased business costs from mitigation-related safety regulationsBenefits of Mitigation Efforts in the CommunityThe benefits of mitigation activities are estimated. Expected benefits are the losses avoidedbecause of a mitigation activity for hazard events of different intensities, multiplied by theprobability of each of these events occurring. Most benefits of mitigation are costs and lossesavoided through the reduction in loss probabilities and a reduction in loss amounts/value. Thereduced costs and losses include:- Loss of life and injury.- Property destruction and damage.- Impacts on environmental, social, and recreational values.- Community and local infrastructure disruption.- Business interruption, including closures, shutdowns and loss of employment.- Loss of culturally and historically important items.- Expenditure on disaster relief by both governments and private organizations.Intangible benefits may include increased awareness by communities of hazards, their impacts and avoidance, leading to better decisions and future actions.

Local electric utility, which is an investor-owned utility (IOU), has had a tariff request to the State of Missouri Public Service Commission approved to allow increases in renewable energy sources for electricity and allowance to contract with large customers for purchase of 100% wind-sourced electric power. An agreement to purchase that electricity has been negotiated and agreements have been executed. 100% renewable energy for electricity for municipal operations is expected to be available by 2022. This represents about 74% of total GHG emissions that will, within three years, be carbon-free. Actions approved by Resolution #181000 which established a target of carbon free electricity for municipal operations by 12/31/2020, and Resolution #180475 which established a target of 100% clean and renewable energy community-wide as soon as feasible and sector by setting sector targets for 100% clean and renewable electricity and an inclusive climate action planning process by 2020.

We are adopting an 'Avoid, Shift, Improve' methodology relating to sustainable transport: - Avoid unnecessary motor travel by improving active travel infrastructure for walking and cycling, creating new settlements which site local amenities locally, and prioritising working from home.- Modal shift encouraging people out of the car and onto public transport or active travel. Our behaviour change programme 'Safer, Greener, Healthier' has delivered 1 million hits under it’s 'Stop Swap Go' campaign encouraging people to work and cycling. We have also invested ~£10M in improving walking and cycling, and launched an e-scooter trial delivering 250,000 journeys already.- Improve is improving the alternatives. This means making sure public transport is affordable, reliable and goes the places our residents need it to. It also means developing an electric vehicle and charge point strategy, ensuring that for those who do have no alternative but the car, that the car is as environmentally sustainable as possible.

To calculate the -7% change from the previous year, we used our FY2017 Scope 1+2 (market-based) emissions in metric tonnes per FTE at the end of FY2017. Adobe's Scope 1+2 emissions increased by 7% at the same time that FTE increased by 14% in FY2017. This provided Adobe with an overall decrease in normalized intensity. We know that, as with the revenue increase, the FTE growth is significant as well. But, we can credit the overall decrease to highly effective energy reduction projects (renovations, server lab virtualizations and consolidations, etc.) which reduced subsequent Scope 2 emissions. This result is consistent using Location-based intensity figures, as well.
