Frisco’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Frisco’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction and Energy Savings Goals
The CleanTracks Action Plan outlines the Town’s recommended greenhouse gas emissions reduction and energy savings goals; and, provides the framework (action items) to achieve those recommended goals. Three goals are identified based on considerable stakeholder input and similar goals outlined for the State of Colorado. The first represents an immediate goal to help evaluate the effectiveness of the CleanTracks Action Plan; the second represents a timeframe that allows time for full implementation, yet is near enough to measure significant progress; and the third goal is based on what scientists report as necessary to avoid catastrophic climate change from global warming. All of these will help the Town and community realize substantial reductions in energy costs. Associated energy reduction savings costs are also identified.
Goal 1 ~ 2010
o 5% Reduction of 2006 CO2 emissions by 2012
o Reduce community energy costs from 2009-2012 by at least $5,000,000
Goal 2 ~ 2012-2020
o 20% Reduction of 2006 CO2 emissions by 2020
o Reduce community energy costs from 2012-2020 by at least $75,000,000
Goal 3 ~ 2020-2050
o 80% reduction of 2006 CO2 emissions by 2050
