The first goal is advancing energy and sustainability initiatives. The second goal is reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing the resilience of its energy systems.

Evaluation Criteria:  GHG emissions reduced  Renewable or waste by-product  Distributed  Cost per ton of GHGs reduced  Cost per unit of energy purchased  Reliability 2. Protect Public Health & the Environment a. Outcomes:  Protect and improve local air and water quality  Reduce environmental & safety impacts from the lifecycle of fuels  Preserve and restore natural system function  Reduce noise pollution  Reduce light pollution b. Evaluation Criteria:  Hazard analysis for human and environmental impacts: TBD- Toxicity, flammability, noise and light pollution etc. from production, transport, storage, and use perspectives (include considerations such as proximity to residential areas…
