In fiscal year 2024, the 16,500 people of City of Maplewood put this much CO₂-equivalent into the air — measured to the GPC BASIC standard, every figure computed by the inventory engine from the city’s own activity data.
154,500154,500
tonnes CO₂e — 9.4 t for every resident.
Hover or tab to a ribbon — every band is a real figure from the engine.
The whole inventory in one field: sectors flow into scopes and merge into the BASIC total. Every ribbon’s thickness is a real figure from the engine.
02—Where it comes from
3 sectors, unevenly weighted.
Stationary Energy
81,065 t
Transportation
34,727 t
Waste
38,708 t
Stationary Energy leads
Stationary Energy carries 81,065 t CO₂e — 52% of the inventory, and the first place a reduction target has to bite.
Waste follows
38,708 t CO₂e, 25% of the total — large enough that a plan which ignores it cannot reach a deep target.
Bought, not burned
Scope 2 — purchased electricity — is 39% of the total. It is the one slice that falls when the grid cleans up, whether or not the city acts.
Homes, businesses, industry, and transit drew about 133 million kWh from the RFCW grid — roughly 456 g CO₂e per kWh. That single fact makes purchased electricity 39% of the whole inventory, emitted at power plants no street in town can see.
The heat in homes
12,550 t CO₂e
Winter runs on gas: residential furnaces and water heaters alone put 12,550 t of direct scope-1 emissions into the air — 8% of the total. No grid cleanup touches this line; only building efficiency and electrification do.
The methane multiplier
37,597 t CO₂e
City of Maplewood has no landfill of its own, so the 18,650 wet tonnes it exports book to scope 3. The figure looks outsized because methane counts 28× CO₂ over a century — and the receiving landfill captures none of its gas.
04—What to do next
Start where the tonnes are.
City of Maplewood may already have a climate action plan on the shelf — most cities that measure do. Either way, the inventory ranks the work: 3 moves, ordered by the sectors that actually dominate the numbers.
01Go after the buildings
Stationary Energy · 81,065 t · 52%
Stationary energy is 52% of the inventory (81,065 t) — furnaces, water heaters, and the electricity buildings draw. Efficiency retrofits cut the load; electrification moves what's left onto a grid that is itself getting cleaner.

02Divert the organics; capture the gas
Waste · 38,708 t · 25%
Waste is 25% of the inventory (38,708 t), and nearly all of it is landfill methane. Curbside organics diversion shrinks the source itself; a gas-capture clause in the hauling contract attacks the rest at the receiving site.

03Move trips off gasoline
Transportation · 34,727 t · 22%
Transportation is 22% of the inventory (34,727 t), and gasoline is 82% of the sector (28,400 t). EV charging build-out, transit service, and land use that shortens trips all pull on the same number.

Purchased grid electricity accounts for 60,841 of 154,500 t CO₂e. Every one of those tonnes is priced by the RFCW grid factor, so this slice falls two ways: the grid gets cleaner, or the city buys cleaner power.

18,650 wet tonnes of waste become 37,597 t CO₂e of landfill methane — modeled with no landfill-gas capture at the receiving site. Methane is the one place a single contract clause can move a quarter-scale slice of the total.

Dividing the 154,500 t BASIC total across 16,500 residents gives 9.4 t CO₂e per person. Stationary energy — the fuel and electricity buildings use — is 81,065 t of that, which makes home and business energy the widest door into the household share.

On-road gasoline adds 28,400 t CO₂e, 18% of the whole inventory and 82% of the 34,727 t transport sector. Diesel and transit electricity make up the remainder — so the transport line moves with the private car fleet.
