2022 Greenhouse Gas Emission Report Released
Our bi-annual Green House Gas Inventory was just published. Estimated Addison County greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2022 were 1,075,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e). This is up 8% from an estimated 993,500 MTCO2e in 2017. The county’s population increased by only 2% over this period.
We are not making measurable progress toward our local community-wide 2030 goal of a 50% reduction below 2017 levels. Now, we need to decrease our Addison County emissions by 358,000 tons, or almost 45,000 tons per year, to reach the goal of 336,000 tons in 2030.
