2024 World Kinect Decarbonization Glidepath Report

In November of 2023, NOPEC notified the City of Kent that it was selected as one of only 5 NOPEC communities to receive an additional resource for decarbonization and sustainability planning as part of NOPEC’s Resiliency and Sustainability Support program. Part of this resource involved the provision of a consulting and research team from the global comprehensive energy solutions company, World Kinect.

The City provided World Kinect with a wide variety of data related to city properties and associated energy use, including the City’s 2022 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory Update, which was used by World Kinect to provide the City with a Decarbonation Glidepath report.

This report provides a planning approach and possible process for decarbonization that the City can consider, offering suggestions for organizational alignment, clarity on commitments, and resource allocation to work towards the City’s goal of Net-Zero GHG emissions by 2050, as outlined in the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP).
