Florida State Greenhouse Gas Reduction Scorecard

Florida State Greenhouse Gas Reduction Scorecard

Key findings for FY 06-07:

State agencies produced 899,107 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in FY 06-07, or .34 percent of the 265 million metric tons of total statewide CO2 emissions in 2004
The total CO2 emissions from state agencies is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions from 164,672 passenger cars, electricity usage for 119,087 households, or consumption of 2,090,947 barrels of oil.
Of the total CO2 emissions from state agencies, 84 percent came from facilities and 16 percent from vehicles.
Of the CO2 emissions from facilities, 85 percent is due to the generation of purchased electricity. The remaining 15 percent is from the use of fuels like natural gas, diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Over 80 percent of the total reported CO2 emissions are produced by nine of the state agencies participating in this Carbon Footprint.
Of the 899,107 metric tons of CO2 emissions in FY 06-07, 818,774 metric tons (91 percent) were from state agencies' vehicles and facilities under their operational control and will be the focus of GHG emission reduction efforts .
