  3. PEC Roadmap: Emissions Inventory • Historical Emissions (1990-2005) on Sector Basis • Emission Projections Through 2025 • Gases: CO2, CH4, N20, HDCs, PFCs, & SF6 • Common metric – CO2e (CO2equivalent)– indicates relative contribution of each gas to global radiative forcing on a Global Warming Potential (GWP) basis. www.pecpa.org

  4. Residential Commercial Industrial Energy generation Agriculture/forestry Land Use/ Transportation PEC Roadmap: Emissions Categories www.pecpa.org

  5. PEC Roadmap: Emissions in PA In 2000, PA emitted 316 MMtCO2e • Equal to 1% of worldwide GHG emissions • Third largest in the United States • Among the top 25 countries in the world www.pecpa.org

  17. Climate Change = Opportunity No state or region has a dominant position in any cleantech segment yet. But the seeds are being laid now to determine which state’s companies will get the lion’s share of investment, and which states will call the leaders of the cleantech industry their own. The states that can best woo entrepreneurs and investors now will have a chance to create self-perpetuating cleantech clusters that drive dynamic economic growth while also improving the environment.
