TRANSPORTATION and LAND USE (T&LU) FACT SHEET

The Port is home to many diverse land uses and modes of transportation that directly and indirectly contribute to GHG emissions. Recreational boating, on-road vehicles (cars and trucks) and off-road equipment (such as cargo handling equipment and ships) account for 35% of the Port’s 2006 baseline GHG emissions. Lodging, restaurants, marina attractions, trains and other heavy-duty vehicles also contribute to GHG emissions.

ENERGY CONSERVATION and EFFICIENCY (EC&E) FACT SHEET

The built environment is a significant indirect contributor to GHG emissions as a result of the electricity and natural gas demand in buildings. Increasing the energy efficiency of both new and existing buildings will result in significant GHG reductions. The Port can implement energy strategies for buildings and exterior spaces, which can provide the opportunity to save money on utility costs, improve air quality, and provide other community benefits.

SW1 22 Big Belly solar trash/recycling compactors were installed in parks and open spaces at the Port in partnership with the City of San Diego. 27 tons of waste were recycled from Port operations, diverting valuable, reusable resources from the landfill; This is equivalent to the waste produced by 33 families in a year.

SW2 Adopt a Construction and Demolition Recycling Ordinance.

SW3 Develop a policy to reduce the generation of solid waste.

Waste-related GHG emissions result from transporting the waste to landfills and from the material as it breaks down in landfills. Main contributors to waste generation include lodging, restaurants, and Port-operated warehouse activities. The Port can reduce waste-related GHG emissions by promoting changes in behavior that encourage conserving resources, re-use and recycling.

1% or600 MT CO2e/yris estimated to come from Water Conservation and Recycling actions

The movement, treatment, heating and cooling of water all require energy (both natural gas and electricity consumption) and result in GHG emissions. Nearly 20% of the state’s energy use is consumed in the transportation and use of water. Shipbuilding, industrial tenants and lodging account for a large portion of water use. By conserving, treating and re-using water, Port users can minimize emissions and conserve a scarce resource.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY GENERATION (AEG) FACT SHEET

Shifting from fossil fuel power sources to clean, renewable energy can contribute significantly to meeting the Port’s GHG reduction goals. The Port can help meet energy demands through on-site, distributed renewable energy generation. Alternative energy policies, programs and technologies can make Port tenants more resilient to price variations and interruptions in power supply, while promoting the economic benefits of new, local industries.
