Baseline Data Considerations

Outstanding Inventory Issues

• Airport:• Who owns the emissions? Is this corporate or community?

• How comprehensive will the inventory be?• Scope 1, Scope 2, Scope 3

• Agriculture:• Emissions associated with enteric fermentation and manure, as

well as nitrogen based fertilizers, and operational vehicles, farm processes etc.

• Forestry:• Carbon Offsets from Tree Cover

Airport

• Question: Where (and to whom) should these emissions be allocated?

• Possible Answers:• Cavan Monaghan• City of Peterborough

• Proposed Approach – BOTH• Assign GHG’s based on operational control principle• City can only ‘take’ emissions where it has operational control• Otherwise GHG’s are assigned based on geographical location

Agriculture

• Two Questions:• How will these emissions be calculated?• To whom should these emissions be allocated?

• Possible Answers for #2:• County of Peterborough• Individual Townships

• Calculation methodology• Livestock counts (OMAFRA and Trent)• Calculations for enteric fermentation and methane management

(as tested by Town of Caledon)

Forestry

• What is being counted here? • Urban Forests?• Carbon offset based on total tree cover area?

• What data sets are available?• Vegetation/wooded area data from Land Information Ontario• Properties participating in the province’s Managed Forest tax
