GHG inventories for 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2017 were established for Pleasanton as a part of this effort (referred to from here as the EBEW inventories). Although the EBEW inventories use slightly different methodologies than the 2005 inventory, due to the availability of data, the consistency between years and between jurisdictions, and the use of the most recent emission factors and data sources, Pleasanton has adopted the EBEW inventories and will incorporate them into the CAP process. The most significant differences between the EBEW inventories and CAP 1.0 2005 inventory is that the CAP 1.0 2005 inventory used the Alameda County Traffic Commission’s Countywide Traffic Demand Model for VMT data modeling, while the EBEW CAP 2.0 inventories (2005, 2010, 2015, and 2017) utilize the Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) VMT data model for VMT data and projections. This led to a significant increase in on-road VMT activity data and on-road transportation emissions compared to the CAP 1.0 2005 inventory. In addition, several updates were performed as part of the current effort to adjust the EBEW inventories specifically to Pleasanton and create a single methodology across the 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2017 inventories. These included adding natural gas emissions from the industrial sector in 2015 (due to the data being unavailable from PG&E reporting due to CPUC privacy rules) and updating the waste and water sections to better reflect the specific conditions in Pleasanton. 28 Original 2005 CAP 1.0 inventory here refers to the 2012 CAP 1.0 inventory, which had previously been updated from ICLEI’s 2005 inventory (completed in 2008 for use in Pleasanton’s 2012 CAP 1.0).
