Draft CAP 2022: Proposed Targets
Business-As-Usual (BAU): An estimate of how emissions
Santa Clara's Emissions and Targets
would grow over time without any climate action.
(Per Capita)
16 External Factors: The influence of federal, statewide, and regional policies (e.g., California's Renewable Portfolio 14 Standard) will have on Santa Clara's projected emissions.
CAP Actions: The estimated collective impact of the actions in 12 this CAP, such as:
Building electrification & energy efficiency
10 Renewable energy generation
Electric vehicle infrastructure and adoption
18 Additional Actions to Reach Long-Term Goal: The additional SB-32 emissions reduction needed after implementing external policies and CAP actions, such as:
: Achieve 100% carbon neutral electricity from SVP Expand electrification and efficiency of existing buildings Accelerate EV transition
: Interim Expand transit and active transportation infrastructure B-55-18
Targets:
2016 2020 2030 2035 2040 2045 Reduce emissions by 40% by 2030 (SB-32) Reduce emissions by 80% by 2035 (Interim Council Directive) 7:
