Fort Lauderdale Net Zero Plan 2025

ROADMAP TO NET ZERO  85

Municipal-Focused Strategies Using the forecasted emissions from the BAU scenario (shown by the gray line) as a starting point to net zero municipal emissions, Figure 20 illustrates the total projected reduction in GHG emissions resulting from the external influences captured in the LA scenario (shown by the yellow dashed line) in addition to GHG emissions impacts from strategies and actions in this Plan (shown by the area between the yellow dashed LA scenario line and the white dotted net zero line). The figure also details the remaining GHG emissions at each interim year by source (shown by the solid-colored wedges under the net zero line). The largest sources of emissions in the municipal inventory are water and wastewater treatment (displayed in orange), vehicle fleet (displayed in emerald), and buildings and facilities (displayed in dark green). A significant portion of these emissions will be reduced through external influences such as the increased share of renewable energy in the electrical grid, as shown by the area between the BAU line and the LA scenario line; however, remaining emissions will need to be reduced through the implementation of strategies and actions in this Plan, especially for vehicle fleet emissions.

Figure 21 details projections of remaining GHG emissions for each municipal emissions category, as well as the resulting percent change from the 2019 baseline at each interim year. The changes in emissions over time reflect a combination of impacts from the modeled GHG reductions from the LA scenario and the implementation of the strategies and actions outlined in this Plan.
