## Slide 7

**Notes:**
We have done a good job in reducing the “other” GHG such as methane, HCFC’s and FS6.  These other GHGs have been reduced from 18% of the total to 9%.  We can reduce the methane emissions on smaller landfills with new technology such as combined heat and power microturbines.

Over 90% of the GHGs are CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels for transportation, heating and electric use.  COo2 is just an indicator of inefficiency in terms of our energy use.

Another way to describe the GHG emissions reduction goal is to increase the energy efficiency of the state.  According to USDOE energy data for every ton of CO2 reduction by energy efficiency we have the potential to achieve 6 pounds of NOx emissions reduction, 10 pounds of SO2 reduction, less mercury emissions, less water used, less wastewater generated, less land impacts and less waste generated.

## Slide 18

**Notes:**
The GHG program is a voluntary program.  There are a lot of similarities in the initiation of the GHG program to the startup of the recycling program.  It relies on individuals and businesses across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors to make voluntary reductions.

Here are some of the results from the initial GHG Covenant signers.  The reporting is on a standard format developed by the USEPA and the USDOE

We assisted in modifying this format with DOE and EPA to include savings in GHG from recycling.  

## Slide 19

**Notes:**
The good new is we are continuing with our 15% green power set aside.  This means that 15% of the electricity we use in state buildings comes from renewable energy.  

This is the largest green power set aside in the US.  Just some other examples:   NY state has set a goal of 5% green power set aside by 2005. The federal government has a 10% goal by 2007.

The bad news is that because of a lack of market support (mainly because of the higher costs) there are less green power producers in the State.  In fact Connectiv which has the current 15% set aside contract with the State will not extend the current contract and is leaving the market.

## Slide 20

**Notes:**
This slide show some of the results from the Colleges and Universities.  On Dec. 11, 2001 all 56 NJ College and University Presidents singed onto the Sustainability Covenant committing to reduce their GHG emissions.

As you can see Colleges and Universities can expand, building new floor space, taking in more students and faculty but overall they are reducing their GHG by simply being more energy efficient. 

We have resolutions with Partnerships for Environmental Quality representing all 8 major religious denominations in NJ and a resolution with the New Jersey School Boards Association representing all 580 NJ schools boards.  We are working with the League of Municipalities and the Association of Counties to help GHG resolution or PPA representing their members.  The commitment is the same to help us reach our GHG goal through voluntary methods.

**Notes:**
As you can see we are holding steady on electricity consumption compared to the last decade .  This is the result of the effectiveness of the demand side management programs operated by the utilities over the last 10 years.  Increases in electricity use are approximately 1% per year.  We currently use 70,000,000 MWhs of electricity.   New Jersey is a net importer of electricity.  Approximately 30 % of our electricity use is supplied by out of state sources.

The good news is we are generating more in state and that generation is cleaner.  The middle of the road news is most of the increase of instate generation comes from nuclear baseload coming back on line.  Some of the new electricity generation is from new combined cycle natural gas turbine but these are used mostly as peaking units and help around the margin.
