City of Pleasanton GHG Inventory, Forecast, and Targets Methodology and Calculations 54 Figure 8 Minimum Required Reduction Pathways for CEQA Streamlining (Mass Emissions) Per Capita Emissions Pathways Each of the above mass emission targets can also be expressed on a per capita basis (the second proposed methodology for setting GHG emissions reduction target pathways). Per capita targets are derived by dividing the mass emissions by the forecasted population in each target year. The benefit of per capita targets is primarily the ability to control for population growth over time. By adopting a per capita target, Pleasanton can continue to grow without sacrificing the ability to reach its GHG reduction goals. 1. The SB 32/B-55-18 Per Capita Pathway. This pathway translates the emissions targets referenced above under the mass emissions pathway into a per capita target by dividing each target year by the forecasted population. This pathway achieves a 40 percent reduction below 1990 levels by 2030 and then carbon neutrality by 2045. 2. The SB 32/S-03-05 Per Capita Pathway. This pathway translates the emissions targets referenced above under the mass emissions pathway into a per capita target by dividing each target year by the forecasted population. This pathway achieves a 40 percent reduction below 1990 levels by 2030 and then an 80 percent reduction below 1990 levels by 2050.
