Comparative Analysis of “Fuels”

  • When comparing costs, be careful to include total variable costs of the delivered fuel, particularly for

utility-delivered fuels where there are often several components that make up the full price

  • The costs at the side are from a snapshot in time (2014) from BC average prices and include delivery

charges where applicable.

Comparative Analysis of “Fuels”

  • Aside from coal, oil-based fuels like gasoline, diesel, and heating oil are the most ghg-intensive per unit
  • f energy.
  • In BC, electricity is nearly GHG-free

Strategies for addressing buildings, waste, and transportation at the community scale

  • Tools for policy, regulation, practice, infrastructure and incentive exist for all areas

below.

  • Some are stronger (organics diversion, district energy service areas) and some

have a lighter influence (sustainability checklists, marketing, ‘encouraging’)

EV Role in Transportation

  • Electric Vehicles can be one part of an integrated plan for transportation

4 Fuel 3 Vehicle Efficiency 2 Mode Shift 1 Trip Distance Reduction Fuel - Electrify what is left of the passenger fleet and / or biofuels, biofuels and natural gas for the heavy-duty fleet

4 3 2

Mode Shift - Shift remaining kilometers travelled to cycling, walking, public transit, ride-sharing and out of the single-

  • ccupant vehicle

Trip Distance Reduction - Reduce need for vehicle travel through urban form and transportation demand management

1

Vehicle Efficiency - Reduce size of vehicles and improve engine efficiency, right-size vehicles to the need, minimize the tonnes of steel being moved to move a person

Why Act

slide-20
SLIDE 20

BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council

Key Provincial Policies

  • Legal requirement to have a GHG reduction target in OCP, RGS
  • 2008 Local Government Climate Action Charter
  • Voluntary commitment, no legal status, but adopted by over 90% of local governments

in BC.

  • Has moral suasion
  • 2008 Climate Action Revenue Incentive program
  • Conditional grant of value of carbon tax paid for fossil fuels used in municipal operation
  • Conditional on signing the climate action charter and reporting actions.

Climate Action

  • Moving a community towards
  • Reduced emissions
  • Increased independence
  • Increased walkability, livability, and ability to age in place
  • Increased local economic development
  • Is not a one term of office issue.
  • Plan -> then long-term program with regular refreshes
  • Many policy / land-use decisions require a decade or more to play out and require

consistent policy direction

Community Energy and Emissions Plans Research Findings:

Correlations with Implementation Success

  • What is Correlated:
  • Buy-in – getting staff and elected official support
  • Tracking / monitoring of actions has a strong correlation with

success

  • What is NOT Correlated
  • Stakeholder engagement does NOT show a strong correlation to

success, however broad support in staff & politicians does. This perhaps points to several approaches to achieving support

  • Quality of CEEP is not strongly correlated with implementation

success, although it does appear to help to have a minimum standard of CEEP. Quality of CEEP is not correlated with size or geographic location
