Projected City-wide GHG reducƟons from CAP implementaƟon
The City of Edina’s GHG emission reduction goals are to
be compatible with the 2015 Paris Agreement and shall
target a reduction in City operations and community-
wide emissions of 45% below 2019 levels by 2030 and
achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Community-wide GHG emissions for 2023 were
17% below 2019 levels. This reducƟon was
achieved largely through emissions reducƟons
from the electricity sector from grid carbon
reducƟon efforts.
Natural gas and transportaƟon emissions have
also contributed to the overall reducƟon, but
each have seen an increase over 2021 emission
levels and transportaƟon emissions are above
emissions targets for 2023. Meanwhile,
emissions associated with solid waste have
increased since 2019.

Edina’s Climate AcƟon Plan
In December 2021, the City of Edina adopted a
Climate AcƟon Plan (CAP) with a commitment of
reducing the community-wide carbon footprint
and fostering sustainability. Edina’s CAP is
anƟcipated to lower greenhouse gas emissions by
45% by 2030, upon successful implementaƟon of
the strategies and acƟon items detailed in the
Plan.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory
paleBLUEdot has conducted an update to the
City’s GHG Inventory for 2023. This inventory
includes community-wide emissions as well as
emissions associated with municipal operaƟons.
The inventory is summarized in the following
pages with detailed calculaƟon spreadsheets
provided in Appendix 1 of this report.
Methodology, Sources, and Terminology
This GHG inventory follows the Greenhouse Gas
Protocol for businesses and communiƟes and
aligns with ICLEI Local Governments for
Sustainability. Terminology is consistent with
internaƟonal Carbon FootprinƟng standards.
Unless stated otherwise, GHG emissions are
measured in metric tons of CO2e (Carbon Dioxide
Equivalent), which accounts for all greenhouse
gases, including methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
(N2O), and fluorinated gases like CFCs.
GHG emissions in each sector are esƟmated by
mulƟplying consumpƟon data (e.g., total
electricity used) by an emissions factor, which
defines the gases emiƩed per unit of
consumpƟon. The chart shows the sources for
the data and factors used.

1-2 Edina 2023 GHG Emissions Progress Summary
IntroducƟon
Energy
Emissions are produced from
the combusƟon of heaƟng
fuel, natural gas, coal, and
other fossil fuels primarily for
heaƟng, cooling, and electric-
ity generaƟon.
TransportaƟon
Emissions come from
the combusƟon of
fossil fuels for ground
transportaƟon and air
travel.*
Solid Waste
Emissions in the waste
management system
come from the decompo-
siƟon of biodegradable
waste (e.g., food and yard
waste) in the landfill.
Water + Wastewater
Emissions from energy
uses are calculated for
treatment and distribu-
Ɵon of water and the
collecƟon and treatment
of wastewater.
Key Greenhouse Gas Sectors
Where do GHGs come from?
IntroducƟon
What Are GHG’s?
A greenhouse gas (GHG) is a mole-
cule in the atmosphere which does
not react to light energy in the visi-
ble range (like sunlight), but does
react to light energy in the infrared
range-like that which is emiƩed
from the Earth aŌer being warmed
by the sun. The most common
greenhouse gases include carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and
nitrous oxide (N2O).
Why do GHG’s MaƩer?
GHG’s let the sun's light shine onto
the Earth's surface, but they trap
the heat that reflects back up into
the atmosphere. In this way, they
act like the insulaƟng glass walls of a
greenhouse. The more GHGs there
are, the more heat that is trapped in
our atmosphere and the more we
experience the impacts of global
warming.
What can we do to reduce GHG’s?
Greenhouse gases can be reduced
by making changes within the key
greenhouse gas sectors within our
community—parƟcularly through
the reducƟon and eliminaƟon of
fossil fuel combusƟon and the ad-
vancement of clean energy sources. * Due to data availability, the Edina GHG Emissions Progress Summary does not include community member air travel.

Climate AcƟon Goal Metrics
The 2021 Edina Climate AcƟon Plan’s purpose is to guide acƟons to advance sustainability, climate
change resilience, and greenhouse gas (GHG) reducƟons community-wide as well as within
municipal operaƟons through 2030. The structure of the plan establishes aspiraƟonal goals
organized in 8 sectors of community-wide focus which are supported by 36 strategies to be
achieved through the implementaƟon of 200 detailed acƟons.
The Climate AcƟon Plan established GHG reducƟon goals across four sectors as well as 16
addiƟonal performance metric goals across six of the eight total sectors. This secƟon provides a
review of the current status of the GHG reducƟon and performance metric goals for the four
sectors included in the GHG Inventory: TransportaƟon, Buildings and Energy, Solid Waste, and
Water + Wastewater.
The metrics for each of the performance goals of the four GHG Inventory sectors are outlined on
the following page. Metrics whose progress is on-track for meeƟng the City’s 2030 Climate AcƟon
Plan goals are shown with a symbol while metrics whose progress is near but slightly above
goals are shown with a symbol and metrics currently not on-track for meeƟng 2030 goals are

2013 and 2016 Values based on Met Council Wastewater Reporting provided by David Ponder. 2019 and 2021 data not yet available and is estimated.
Total number of vehicles in community is based on US Census data ACS Table: A10030 ; Housing Units by Vehicles Available. Data for years 2019 and later are for previous calendar year due to annual data availability
Registered Electric Vehicles in Community do not inlcude HEV or PHEV categories and is based on registration data reported by EV Hub https://www.atlasevhub.com/materials/state-ev-registration-data/
Electricity in MWh, natural gas in therms. Carbon dioxide equivalents (GHG) are expressed in metric tonnes, which equal 1,000 kilograms, 2,204.6 pounds, or 1.102 US tons.
To avoid double-counting, energy consumption and emissions associated with process electricity and process natural gas for wastewater treatment and solid waste management are subtracted Electricity and Natural Gas sectors
MSW volumes are based City pro-rata share of County SCORE reporting to MPCA for years 2013 and 2016. Data shown for years 2019 and later are based on City reported values which combine waste hauler data and MPCA SCORE report data.

On-site solar generation for City Hall and Public works are both understood to have REC's retained by others (City Hall under Solar Rewards and Public Works as a community solar garden)
Municipal Operations share of Solid Waste for 2013, 2016, and 2019 are estimated ProRata share of commercial portion of MSW based on FTE share of community-wide employment. Shares for 2021 are based on City of Edina reported solid waste data.
Municipal Operations share of wastewater is estimated ProRata share of commercial portion of wastewater generation based on FTE share of community-wide employment.
Emission Factors are based on Xcel energy reporting.
Water flows relate to reported distributuion within community only.
Energy data for 2013 is not available. 2015 data has been used as most recent available information
