116 <br /> A forecast of emission reductions that includes the strategies is shown in Figure 3. <br /> When the strategies are added to the ABAU scenario the County could reduce its 2030 <br /> emissions to 993,646 MT CO2 per year, which achieves the target of 50% emission <br /> reduction by that year, against a 2005 baseline. By 2050 the County would emit just <br /> 56,991 MT CO2 annually, if the strategies are implemented. The remaining emissions <br /> are due to solid waste, water, and wastewater treatment. The reduction of these <br /> remaining emissions, to fully meet a target of net zero emissions by 2050 is discussed <br /> in the 2023 Plan but is not quantified in the forecast. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY TOP 7 EMISSION REDUCTIONS <br /> 1,800,000 1,640,492 <br /> 1,600,000 <br /> 1,400,000 1,320,772 <br /> 1,200,000 1,028,184 955,357 <br /> 1,000,000 ,-_ _,-«_ _ -,--- - <br /> 800,000 993,646 <br /> 600,000 454,033 <br /> 400,000 56,991 <br /> 200,000 <br /> O, O N M C In �O N 00 P O NM V N �0 I� 00 O• O N M of Ln �O I, CO O• O <br /> N N N N N N N N N N M M M M M M M M M M -T d' v a v d' v v v v Ln <br /> O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O <br /> N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N <br /> TRANSPORTATION&MOBILE SOURCES RESIDENTIAL ENERGY COMMERCIAL ENERGY <br /> INDUSTRIAL ENERGY SOLID WASTE WATER&WASTEWATER <br /> PROCESS&FUGITIVE EMISSIONS --BAU —SCENARIO <br /> FIGURE 3: Orange County Top 7 Emission Reductions <br /> Meeting the Targets <br /> Achieving emission reductions as substantial as those outlined in the 2023 Climate <br /> Action Plan will depend upon fully implementing the strategies of the 2023 Plan. By <br /> tracking these strategies, and regularly updating the GHG inventory,the County can look <br /> towards achieving its goals with a hope of 50% emissions reductions by 2030 and net <br /> zero by 2050. <br /> 8 ORANGE COUNTY, NC • APPENDICES <br />
