A greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for the City of Longmont was completed in 2017 and established emissions for 2016. It was accompanied by a study that examined Longmont’s GHG emission reduction potential by 2030 and 2050. A comprehensive update of the inventory every three years will help determine overall emissions and progress toward reduction targets.

2019 Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Overall there was an eight percent reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions between 2016 and 2019. This was due both to activity data and updating the calculation methodology. The inventory identified that the greatest opportunity to reduce emissions is to continue supporting the transition to 100 percent renewable powered electric grid.
