1. Local Context: Review of the city’s GHG inventory Applying scientific thinking in the service of society

2. Map of Durban The City of Durban extends over 2 297 km 2 Total population: +/- 3.5 million The City generates a GDP of approximately: R 255 billion Is the 3 rd largest economic area in South Africa Figure 1: Map of the eThekwini Municipal Area

3. CO 2 e emissions and energy consumption per sector (2007) Figure 2: Emissions and energy consumption per sector, Antoni, 2007 Total: 22,5 million tCO 2 e Per capita: 6.86 tCO 2 e

4. Industrial and commercial sector Figure 3: Percentage of industrial emissions by fuel/energy type, Antoni (2007)

5. Industrial and commercial sector (cont.) Table 1: Electricity consumption and related CO 2 e emissions from the 20 highest electricity consumers

6. Industrial and commercial sector (cont.) Table 2: Coal consumption for the City of Durban by sector (2002)

7. Industrial and commercial sector (cont.) Table 3: GDP, CO 2 e emissions, energy consumption, energy intensity and carbon intensity for economic sub-sectors

8. Transport Fastest growing contributor to emissions 2 nd largest CO2e emitter (25% of total emissions) Total emissions :5 538 453 t CO2e Key driver : GDP/capita

9. Residential sector

11. Local authority emissions The local authority sector contributes approximately 5% to the city’s total emissions The highest CO 2 e emitter in this sector is other which includes electricity losses due to theft and distribution

12. Findings Key energy type – electricity Key sector – industrial Highest energy subsectors – petroleum, chemical and rubber products, wood and wood products and food and beverages Transport is the fastest growing sector
