3. 3rd Annual Members Meeting
October 7, 2008
Sheraton Grand Hotel 1230 J Street, Sacramento, CA
9:00am Welcome Remarks
Gary Gero, President, California Climate Action Registry
Linda Adams, Chair, California Climate Action Registry; Secretary, California
Environmental Protection Agency
Diane Wittenberg, Executive Director, The Climate Registry
In 2001, the California Registry was created to protect and promote early actions
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our mission was and still is to provide our
members with tools to take action on climate change issues and to serve as a
leader on the forefront of climate change solutions. Seven years, 350 members
and 650 million tonnes of CO2e later, the California Registry has succeeded in a
way few non-profits are able to do and in so doing have fulfilled the first goal of our
mission. With the implementation of AB 32 and our work to help launch The Climate
Registry, the California Registry is now taking on a new goal to carry on our mission.
In this session, California Registry President Gary Gero and Chair Linda Adams
will present the California Registry’s new focus on its emissions reduction project
program, the Climate Action Reserve, and introduce its new program for
encouraging action on climate change. Diane Wittenberg, Executive Director of
The Climate Registry, will discuss the role of The Climate Registry in evolving climate
policy across North America.
10:00am Role of the California Registry in AB32 Implementation
Mary Nichols, Chairman, California Air Resources Board
The California Registry was created to provide a means for organizations to
establish baselines that could be used to demonstrate early actions. With the State
of California’s development of GHG regulation well underway, California Registry
members are interested to understand how their early actions will in fact be
considered by the State.

4. 11:00am Breakout Session 1: Best Practices for Reporting & Verification
Join small group discussions to share reporting and verification tips based on
source categories. Moderated discussions will focus on sharing Best Practices for
managing data and successes and challenges in reporting and verifying your GHG
emissions inventory.
Emissions from Stationary Combustion
A
Moderator: Derek Markolf, Senior Policy Manager, California Climate Action
Registry
• Obadiah Bartholomy, Project Manager, Advanced Renewables &
Distributed Generation Technologies, Sacramento Municipal Utility District
• Cindy Parsons, Environmental Specialist, Los Angeles Department of Water
& Power
Are you using CEMs data and/or metered fuel use to calculate your emissions
from stationary combustion? What are best practices for quantifying emissions
from cogeneration? Several verifiable options exist for emission factors – which
R
factors are best for your inventory?
Emissions from Mobile Sources
B
Moderator: Laura Zahn, Program Associate, California Climate Action Registry
• Cathy Ikeuchi, Manager of Energy Operations, Safeway
• Suzanne Chaewsky, Environmental Engineer, AC Transit
• Gretchen Hardison, Climate & Air Programs Director, City of Los Angeles
Environmental Affairs Department
For many members, tracking emissions from vehicle fuel usage will be done
for the first time as part of the GHG inventory. How can you set up effective
management systems to track vehicles? What is the best way to account for
vehicles that are not centrally garaged or maintained? How can you calculate
emissions from alternative fuels? What is the best way to track performance of
individual vehicles operating in a fleet? What type of information is requested by
verifiers? California Registry members share Best Practices for tracking
emissions from mobile sources.
Indirect Emissions
C
Moderator: Sarah Stanner-Cranston, Program Manager, California Climate
Action Registry
• Karin Corfee, Senior Principal, Sustainable Market Strategies, KEMA
• Connie Nguyen, Business Development Manager, Customer Management
Group, NSF-ISR
• John C. Shideler, PhD, Greenhouse Gas Program Manager, NSF-ISR
Most organizations have emissions associated with the purchase and use of
electricity. What is the best way to track this information when you have many
offices that use electricity and receive bills? How can you report emissions if

5. your utilities are not independently metered for your office space? Are there
other indirect emissions from sources besides electricity use that you should be
reporting, e.g., employee commuting or business travel? California Registry
members and verifiers share Best Practices for reporting indirect emissions.
D Process & Fugitive Emissions
Moderator: Derik Broekhoff, Vice President, Policy, California Climate Action
Registry
• Darrell Johnson, Principal Environmental Specialist – Air Environmental
Services, The Gas Company
• Fiji George, Corporate Development Manager, El Paso Corporation
• J. Ivor John, PhD, Vice President, Ryerson Master and Associates, Inc.
California Registry protocols provide limited guidance for calculating process
and fugitive emissions. What are the best tools available for calculating your
process emissions? While many of these are specific to industries or sectors, most
organizations have some cooling or chilling systems. What refrigerant emissions
does your organization have and where does the information on this reside
in your organization? From your HVAC contractors? For some sources, particu-
larly fugitive emissions, the quality of data may not be as high as for more
conventional sources such as natural gas combustion. How can you be sure that
your data is verification ready?
E Members’ Showcase
The Members’ Showcase is a meeting area for all attendees to share information
about your organization, products, climate-friendly services and resources that
help build your GHG inventory.
12:00pm Lunch, Sponsored by SGS
1:30pm Blueprint for a Climate Action Plan
Sarah Skikne, The Climate Group
Caroline Fricke, Senior Sustainability Consultant, Arup
As California Registry members, you’ve taken the important first step to establish
a baseline of GHG emissions, by reporting and verifying your annual inventory.
With this information in hand, you can see the emissions impact of your different
activities. What can you do next to begin to manage your emissions performance?
Co-authors of a forthcoming report, The Guide for a Low Carbon Economy,
developed in partnership by The Climate Group and Arup, will share a framework for
understanding the steps you can take to reduce your emissions, whether you are just
beginning to consider these issues or have been working on them for some time.

6. 2:00pm Breakout Session 2: Making Reductions in Your Operation
With your participation in the California Registry, you now have a regulatory quality
inventory of your sources that can be used to identify reduction opportunities. In
light of new GHG regulations, all organizations will need to reduce their footprint
to the maximum extent feasible over the coming years. These sessions will help you
understand what resources are available for implementing reductions within your
sector. Each workshop will provide practical case studies and share lessons learned
to help you understand the types of results you can expect from different reduction
strategies.
A Electric Power
Moderator: Elizabeth Betancourt, Watershed Specialist, El Dorado Irrigation
District
• Jennifer Clymer, Climate Change Program Specialist Environmental
Care & Protection, Austin Energy
• Steve Galanter, Manager, Strategic Planning and Technical Services,
Energy Efficiency Division, Southern California Edison R
• Adam Diamant, Senior Project Manager, Global Climate Research
Program, EPRI
The electric power sector figures centrally in discussions on reducing green-
house gas emissions. Particularly in the West, many companies have made
significant steps in reducing the environmental impacts of their generating
fleet. What opportunities still remain for electric power companies to reduce
emissions? What improvements can be made inside the fence? What is the
role of energy efficiency, demand response or other end-use programs?
What is the role of distributed generation and renewable energy? Looking to
the future, what technologies may play a role in reducing emissions? What
are the opportunities for the electric power sector? California Registry
members and technical experts share practical tools and suggestions for
developing effective reduction plans.
B Government
Moderator: Rachel Tornek, Senior Policy Manager, California Climate Action
Registry
• Dana Papke, Air Pollution Specialist, California Air Resources Board
• John Engstrom, Supervising Architect, Department of Water Resources
• Brooke Lee, Program Officer, ICLEI
In the US, many state and local governments are leading the way on
climate change with innovative policies, setting standards, and reducing the
footprint of their own activities. At the same time, many governments are
facing near-term budget cuts that limit their options to make changes. What
are the “win-win” measures that will reduce both costs and greenhouse gas
emissions? What can you do to influence and educate your community and
service providers on GHG reductions? What tools are available – both
technical and financial – to help you effect emission reduction strategies?

7. C Offices & Retail Operations
Moderator: Sarah Stanner-Cranston, Program Manager, California Climate
Action Registry
• Wayne Hendrickson, Director, Property Operations, Thomas Properties
• Robert Parkhurst, Climate Protection and Analysis Manager, PG&E
The service & retail sectors are not being flagged as large emitters, but to
reach our climate goals, all sources will need to play a role in reducing
emissions. Also, customers are increasingly asking for disclosure of the green
credentials from all types of organizations, and research is showing the positive
benefits of greening our workspaces. However, there is often a disconnect
between tenants and landlords – the parties that are in positions to make
upgrades are not necessarily the parties that directly benefit from these
improvements. What can tenants do in this situation? What about landlords?
Energy efficiency experts will share ideas and tips for office-based upgrades.
Oil & Gas
D
Moderator: Joel Levin, Vice President, Business Development, California
Climate Action Registry
• Byard Mosher, Climate Change Reporting Section, California Air
Resources Board
• Suzanne Iyer, Senior Policy Analyst, Chevron
• J. Ivor John, PhD, Vice President, Ryerson Master and Associates, Inc
The oil & gas sector is named as a major source of GHG emissions and is
expected to make significant reductions. Operations are specific to each
facility, making it difficult to recommend one-size-fits-all approaches. What are
near-term options to help reduce emissions e.g, changing operations &
maintenance practices, improving process efficiency, reducing flares? What
are the highest GHG impact reduction practices? What are the most cost-
effective reduction practices? Looking to the future, what new technology
options can play a role in reducing GHGs from this sector? Join a discussion
on these topics as well as on the role for companies in consumer education or
helping to reduce use of their product.
E Members’ Showcase
The Members’ Showcase is a meeting area for all attendees to share
information about your organizations, products, climate-friendly services
and resources that help you build your GHG inventory.

8. 3:15pm Following the Carbon Brick Road… to technologies of the future
Moderator: Gary Gero, President, California Climate Action Registry
• Anthony Bernhardt, PhD, Environmental Entrepreneurs
• Adi Aron-Gilat, Better Place Project
• Dan Adler, President, California Clean Energy Fund
Bio-gas, hydrogen fuel cells, solar PV, energy efficiency, oh my! What are the
technologies that have potential for our businesses and operations in the coming
years? Presenters highlight the future and not so distant technologies that we can
anticipate in the transportation, building technology and electronic communica-
tions sectors that will help us succeed in this carbon constrained world.
