Greenhouse Gas Reduction definition

Greenhouse Gas Reduction. (GHG Reduction) means actions designed to reduce emissions of one or all of the following gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction means the (i) direct reduction or mitigation of emissions of Greenhouse Gases from an emission source; (ii) removal and sequestration of Greenhouse Gases; or (iii) indirect reduction or avoidance of emissions of Greenhouse Gases.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction or “GHG Reduction” means a calculated decrease in GHG emissions relative to a project baseline over a specified period of time.

  • Waste reduction , or “pollution prevention” means the practice of minimizing the generation of waste at the source and, when wastes cannot be prevented, utilizing environmentally sound on-site or off-site reuse and recycling. The term includes equipment or technology modifications, process or procedure modifications, product reformulation or redesign, and raw material substitutions.

  • Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA) means the upper limit of annual applied water for the established landscaped area as specified in Section 492.4. It is based upon the area's reference evapotranspiration, the ET Adjustment Factor, and the size of the landscape area. The Estimated Total Water Use shall not exceed the Maximum Applied Water Allowance. Special Landscape Areas, including recreation areas, areas permanently and solely dedicated to edible plants such as orchards and vegetable gardens, and areas irrigated with recycled water are subject to the MAWA with an ETAF not to exceed 1.0. MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(ETAF x LA) + ((1-ETAF) x SLA)]
