Explore and identify the major sources of energy use emissions. The size of the ‘flows’ represent the amount of emissions from each of the source categories, indicated by the three columns in the diagram.
Select to organize the emission flows by boundary, activity, source and by boundary.
Activities include energy use from homes, and business/municipal activities.
Source categories include fuel combustion for heating (primarily from natural gas), electricity, transmission & distribution losses from grid-supplied energy, and fugitive emissions.
Boundaries refer to whether emissions occur directly within community jurisdictional boundaries, from grid-supplied energy, or from transboundary activities.
Homes and businesses/industry, are the primary energy users in Arvada. Fuel combusted for heating from natural gas, and electricity use make up the majority of energy use emissions.
