120 <br /> A forecast of emission reductions that includes the strategies is shown in Figure 4. <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 6 EMISSION REDUCTIONS <br /> 1,800,000 1,631,671 <br /> 1,600,000 <br /> 1,400,000 <br /> N <br /> V 1,200,000 947,191 <br /> 1,000,000 - -- ___- __ _ <br /> 800,000 993,646 <br /> 600,000 <br /> 454,033 <br /> 400,000 <br /> - �56,991 <br /> 200,000 <br /> O.

By tracking these <br /> strategies, and regularly updating the GHG inventory,the County can look towards achieving <br /> its goals of 50%emissions reductions by 2030 and net zero by 2050. <br /> 8 ORANGE COUNTY, NC • APPENDICES <br />
