STEP 2: CO2 EMISSION INVENTORY
Establishment of emission base year, which will provide a benchmark for the reduction target of reducing CO2 emissions by at least 20% by 2020
Approaches to emission inventories:
-Territorial - includes the total CO2 emissions resulting from the final energy consumption in the municipality
- life cycle assessment - includes the total CO2 emissions arising at all stages of energy production from acquisition of raw materials to energy use by end users
