Decarbonization Implementation Plan I Existing Energy & Emissions Energy vs Carbon Energy use and carbon emissions are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are quite different. Carbon emissions come from burning fossil fuels -those burnt fossil fuels provide energy to buildings. Energy can also be provided to buildings via zero -carbon sources, such as renewables. The City of Louisville participates in programs to offset their existing electrical consumption with renewable sources. Therefore, for the purposes of this study the total carbon emissions at Louisville will be solely driven by on -site fossil fuel combustion and emissions associated with electric consumption will be zero.
