Authority to focus on reducing Scope 1 and 3 emissions through energy efficiency and electrification , while parallel efforts by others are focused on actions that will reduce our Scope 2 emissions .
Summary
One can consider our GHG Inventory as a performance tracking tool for the progress we make ( or do not make ) in the implementation of our Sustainability Plan . For example , as we meet our goals of reducing diesel fuel use and operating our facilities more efficiently , we hope to generate material reductions in our GHG emissions over time as well . Converting from diesel to electric transportation systems transfers higher-emitting Scope 1 activities ( e . g ., combusting diesel on-site ) to lower-emitting Scope 2 activities ( i . e ., purchased electricity ). As these Scope 2-related activities themselves gradually become less GHG intensive , the net benefit to the Authority and our GHG emissions profile is positive . With our first GHG inventory now complete , we intend to regularly update it to measure our progress and to make summary information available to the public .
