2019 Greenhouse Gas Inventory

As a part of the Clean Economy Strategy 2.0 update, the City conducted a 2019 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory as an update to its previous 2009 GHG inventory. This inventory is a quantitative data source that has informed the development of draft strategies and actions. 

​

Below are the result of the 2019 GHG inventory.

In summary, approximately 95% of Renton's communitywide emissions result from energy use and transportation. The use of energy sources such as electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil make up 55% of total emissions, while on-road and off-road transportation make up 40% of total emissions. The remaining emissions are a result of waste generation, wastewater treatment, and refrigerant usage.
