Fort Lauderdale Net Zero Plan 2025

ROADMAP TO NET ZERO  43

▪ By 2050, a 100% reduction from the 2019 community residential sector baseline necessitates widespread adoption of net zero energy home designs, full electrification of residential energy systems, and sourcing electricity entirely from renewable energy. Community education programs; financial incentives at the federal, state, and local levels; and partnerships with the utility are essential to drive these changes while ensuring equitable access for all residents. INDUSTRIAL SECTOR To reduce emissions per unit of energy in the industrial sector , the community must emphasize energy efficiency measures, cleaner energy sourcing, and innovative process improvements. ▪ By 2030, a 25% reduction in community industrial sector emissions compared to the 2019 baseline requires adopting energy-efficient machinery, improving insulation in industrial facilities, and implementing real-time energy monitoring and control systems to minimize waste. ▪ By 2040, a 66% reduction compared to the 2019 industrial sector baseline necessitates deepening process optimization, transitioning to electrified industrial equipment where feasible, and integrating on-site renewable energy sources like solar or wind. ▪ By 2050, a 99% reduction compared to the 2019 industrial sector baseline depends on fully electrifying industrial operations, leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence for energy optimization, and ensuring all energy consumption is supplied by renewable sources. Supportive policies, financial incentives, and collaboration with industry leaders is essential for scaling these strategies while maintaining economic competitiveness.
