STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the report. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. DESCRIPTION: On September 15, 2020, the City Council approved Resolution 100-20 Adopting the City of Dublin Climate Action Plan 2030 and Beyond. CAP 2030 includes five strategies with 22 measures intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and to put the City on the path to reach carbon neutrality by 2045. Since Dublin has been a rapidly growing community, the GHG emissions goals in CAP 2030 are also expressed in per capita emissions targets. The 2030 emission target is 2.8 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (MT CO2e) per capita and the 2045 carbon neutrality target is 0 MT CO2e per capita. To gauge if the City has made sufficient progress on GHG emissions goals by 2025 to reach the 2030 targets, there is also an interim target of 3.7 MT CO2e per capita by 2025. To address the GHG emissions reductions required to meet the CAP 2030 goals, the measures included in CAP 2030 focus on Dublin's largest emissions sources: buildings, transportation, and waste, as shown in Figure 1 below. The five strategies that address these emission sources are: • Strategy 1- Renewable and Carbon Free Electricity (CF) Page 1 of 7 1 • Strategy 2 - Building Efficiency and Electrification (EE) • Strategy 3 - Sustainable Mobility and Land Use (SM) • Strategy 4 - Materials and Waste Management (MM) • Strategy 5 - Municipal Leadership (ML) Figure 1.

Figure 2 below highlights the quantified measures that will directly reduce GHG emissions through 2030. • Strategy 1 - Renewable and Carbon Free Electricity, is the most impactful strategy in CAP 2030, with the potential to reduce GHG emissions in Dublin by 53 percent by 2025 if all electricity accountholders elected to remain on Ava Community Energy's (formerly East Bay Community Energy) Renewable 100 power. • Strategy 2 - Building Efficiency and Electrification is important for establishing long-term benefits and savings by constructing new buildings that have low on -going GHG emissions. • Strategy 3 - Sustainable Mobility and Land Use addresses transportation related emissions which are the biggest source of GHG emissions in Dublin. Rapid changes in the transportation sector are occurring and the measures in CAP 2030 position Dublin to maximize the GHG emissions reduction potential from those changes. • Strategy 4 - Materials and Waste Management emission reductions focus on compliance with the organic waste diversion requirements in Senate Bill 1383, Short -Lived Climate Pollutants. • Strategy 5 - Municipal Leadership includes measures to demonstrate the City's commitment to implementing CAP 2030. The municipal GHG emissions are considered a subset of communitywide emissions. To avoid double -counting, municipal emissions are not included in the overall GHG emissions reduction quantification.

While substantial evidence suggests that the measures included in CAP 2030 will achieve the interim 2025 and 2030 targets, uncertainty increases over time. The adoption rates of each measure, costs of technology, the legislative environment, and benefits assumed in CAP 2030 will continue to evolve. To gauge if the City is on track to meet its targets, CAP 2030 establishes that GHG emissions reduction inventories will be conducted on a routine basis (no less than every three years), with the first inventory to be completed for calendar year 2022. CAP 2030 also stipulates that a progress report to City Council be provided every other year beginning in 2022. This report is intended to meet this roadmap requirement. 2022 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory The 2022 GHG emissions inventory showed a 2% decrease in total emissions and a 22% decrease in per capita emissions between 2015 and 2022, as shown in Tables 1 and 2 below. These decreases were achieved despite a 25% increase in population in the same period. The overall decrease in mass GHG emissions was primarily driven by reduced electricity emissions, achieved by more energy efficient systems being included in new construction and by the communitywide default to Ava Community Energy's Renewable 100 power. The decrease in electricity emissions was offset by a 32% increase in residential natural gas usage due to an increase in housing stock that includes natural gas appliances. Transportation emissions Page 3 of 7 3 also increased by 3%. This increase is lower than might otherwise be expected due to the increase in the number of zero -emissions vehicles on the road and more fuel -efficient vehicles overall. Table 1.

While these results are encouraging, the City will need to continue to implement the measures in CAP 2030 to achieve its GHG emissions targets and align with state goals. As seen in Figure 3, GHG emissions are well below the business -as -usual forecast (i.e., where GHG emissions were projected to be if no action were taken on CAP 2030 measures) but are above where they need to be to meet CAP 2030 targets.

Measure CF-1, Opt -Up to 100% Renewable and Carbon -Free electricity, was completed on April 5, 2022, when the City Council adopted Resolution 28-22 requesting East Bay Community Energy enroll non-residential accounts in Renewable 100 as the default, GHG-free energy product. Previously, the City had enrolled all municipal accounts in Renewable 100 and set Renewable 100 as the default for all residential accounts. This action contributed to a 78% decrease in the residential electricity emissions factor since most residents (75%) chose to remain on Renewable 100 power. The impact of the non-residential account default to Renewable 100 was not as great since most non-residential accounts (67%) chose to remain on the Bright Choice energy product which currently has a higher emissions factor than electricity provided by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). Ava Community Energy is committed to providing 100% carbon -free electricity by 2030, however the short-term transition away from large hydropower and nuclear power has increased the emissions factor of the Bright Choice portfolio relative to PG&E. This issue is anticipated to be resolved in the near future, as Ava builds and procures additional solar and wind resources. Despite the higher emissions factor, non-residential electricity emissions declined by 13% due to a decrease in overall electricity consumption. Coupled with communitywide 100% GHG-free energy, Measure EE-1, Achieve All Electric New Construction, results in new homes and businesses that do not emit GHGs. This measure was completed on November 15, 2022, when the City Council adopted Resolution 137-22, which included local amendments to Title 24 of the California Building Code (CALGreen) requiring all electric appliances in new construction projects, with some exceptions (e.g., commercial kitchen - specific end uses such as stoves and ovens, and technologically infeasible projects). Over time, as homes and businesses are built, the code will result in long-term GHG emissions reductions, despite expected population growth. Page 5 of 7 5 In addition, the City Council adopted Tier 2 CALGreen requirements for the electric vehicle infrastructure, which completed Measure SM-1, Adopt an Electric Vehicle Charging Station Ordinance. The Tier 2 requirements mandate increased installation of EV charging stations at new commercial and multi -family residential properties, plus the installation of "make ready" infrastructure to facilitate future installation of EV charging stations. Access to reliable electric vehicle charging stations at home and at work is a key component to encourage the purchase of an electric vehicle instead of a gas vehicle. The increase in EV charging stations installed because of the Tier 2 requirements should help ease concern about range anxiety and expedite the transition to zero -emissions vehicles. Municipal Leadership Implementation Measures Since CAP 2030 adoption, the City has also made progress implementing many of the measures in Strategy 5 - Municipal Leadership. Table 3 below highlights the City's progress. Table 3. Strategy 5 - Municipal Leadership Measure Implementation Measure Measure ML-1, 100% Renewable Electricity for Municipal Buildings and Operations Measure ML-3, Electrify Municipal Vehicle Fleet and Equipment Measure ML-5, Promote Municipal Awareness of Sustainable Goods and Services Measure ML-6, Enhance Municipal Carbon Sequestration Opportunities Measure ML-7, Implement the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan Implementation Action(s) • All municipal electricity accounts are on Renewable 100 power. • Installed solar panels at 10 City locations, including battery storage at four locations as part of the Citywide energy efficiency and infrastructure projects. • Completed a municipal fleet electrification plan. • Purchased three Ford F-150 Lightning electric trucks and two Chevrolet Bolt EUV cars which replaced internal combustion engine vehicles that had reached the end of their service life. • Updated the Environmental Preferable Purchasing Policy. • Initiated a training program to educate staff about the updated policy. • Entered into a partnership with StopWaste and researchers at the University of California Merced to conduct a pilot project to evaluate how compost application on turf sports fields impacts carbon sequestration. • Partnered with the Alameda County Transportation Commission to construct a regional green stormwater infrastructure project on the Iron Horse Trail south of Amador Valley Boulevard that will provide both stormwater treatment and hydromodification management. Measures in Progress CAP 2030 Table 8-2, GHG Emissions Reduction Measures Monitoring and Reporting Program (Attachment 1), lists how, when, and which City departments will implement and monitor on - Page 6 of 7 6 going CAP activities. Measures that are in progress include Measure SM-2, Develop an Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan and Measure MM-2, Reduce Embodied Emissions Associated with Building Materials. Activities anticipated to begin in calendar year 2024 include Measure EE-4, Develop an Existing Building Electrification Plan, Measure SM-3, Develop a Transportation Demand Management Plan, and Measure ML-4, Total Cost of Ownership and Life -Cycle Analysis of GHG Impacts in Municipal Requests for Proposals. Table 8-2 has been updated to show the progress to date on all the measures. Conclusion The goal of CAP 2030 is not just about reducing the negative effects of GHG emissions on the environment. It is also about making holistic improvements to the Dublin community and way of life. As measures are implemented, the Dublin community will benefit from cleaner air, more versatile and flexible transportation, new opportunities for economic growth, reductions in localized flooding risks, and greater energy independence from fossil fuels. CAP 2030 also serves as the City's qualified GHG Reduction Plan and programmatic tiering document for the purposes of CEQA for analysis of the impacts of GHG emissions and climate change. CEQA allows cities to develop Climate Action Plans or GHG emissions reductions plans to provide programmatic analysis of cumulative impacts of GHG emissions for projects in the City. As part of CAP 2030 development, the City determined that the reduction targets in the plan will reduce the impact from activities in the Plan to a less than significant level under CEQA (i.e., the project will not make a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant cumulative impact). Therefore, CAP 2030 may be used for the cumulative impact analysis for projects and development in the City covered by the Plan. If a proposed project is consistent with the applicable GHG emissions reduction measures identified in CAP 2030, the project is considered to have a less than significant impact on climate change due to GHG emissions, consistent with Public Resources Code 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183.5, 15064, and 15130.
