A more detailed report of the Solid Waste Facilities emissions is <br />located in Table 26. Since the City does not have its own landfill, emissions from this sector <br />come from the electricity used to operate the City’s transfer station facility as well as the propane <br />used by the forklifts to aid in the transfer of waste. <br />Table 26: 2005 Solid Waste Facilities GHG Emissions Data <br />₂₂ <br />CO COe <br />₂₄₂ <br />NO CH COe Energy <br /> Cost ($) <br />(metric (metric <br />(MMBtu) <br /> <br />(kg)(kg)(%) <br /> <br />tons)tons) <br /> <br />Subtotal Solid <br />40 1 0 40 0.5 165 3,107 <br />Waste Facilities <br /> <br />Employee Commute Sector Detailed Report <br />In 2005, the Employee Commute sector accounted for approximately 15% of the total emissions <br />from University City government operations (or 1,124 metric tons of COe). Emissions from this <br />2 <br />portion of the inventory result from the consumption of fuels by City employees in their <br />commutes to and from work. It is important to note that GHG emissions from the employee <br />commute sector are categorized as Scope 3 emissions because they are not emissions that the <br />City has direct control over (e.g. City-owned buildings and facilities). Nonetheless, employee <br />commute emissions are significant and local governments have the ability to develop programs <br />to effectively improve commute patterns of their employees and thus reduce emissions. <br />In order to conduct the employee commute emissions analysis for this report, the City issued a <br />xxxiv <br />survey to all of its employees. In 2005, there were 310 full-time City employees, 121 of <br />which effectively filled out the employee commute survey. The average daily commute for all <br />survey respondents was approximately 19.96 miles. <br />2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, City of University City, MO 33 <br /> <br /> <br />
