The County of Sonoma will be tracking emissions. The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors authorized the creation of an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions from all county government facilities and operations. The inventory will be used as a baseline to help the county move toward its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Oakland-based Cascadia Consulting Group, Inc. was chosen to conduct the greenhouse gas audit with a contract amount of about $142,000. The Board previously allocated $500,000 as part of Strategic Plan funding to conduct both an internal greenhouse gas emissions inventory and a study evaluating the potential of carbon sequestration. The carbon sequestration study will be pursued at a later date.
