Energy Consumption &CO2e Emissions Database WC - Web.pdf

Summary

This 2018 database report provides a comprehensive evaluation of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions across the Western Cape of South Africa. Developed by the provincial government, the document analyzes data from the 2015/16 financial year to track environmental impacts within the City of Cape Town and five surrounding districts. By examining both supply-side fuel sources and demand-side sector usage, the report establishes a framework for enhancing energy security and refining climate change response strategies. Detailed breakdowns illustrate how different regions and economic sectors, such as transport and industry, contribute to the province's overall carbon footprint. Ultimately, these findings serve as a vital tool for local authorities to monitor progress toward sustainability goals and informed urban planning.
