Thanks for providing this! I have a couple follow up questions. The EPA has extensive documentation and quality control requirements we need to adhere to. If there is any documentation floating around, I’d appreciate that, too.

• Can you provide definitions of biogenic emissions, anthropogenic emissions, and what Scope 1 and Scope 2 encompass?
• Would a time series be an appropriate visualization for this data? For example, with year on the x-axis and emissions on the y-axis.
• Can you confirm that tonnes is referring to metric tons?
• What emissions factors were used to get to metric tons CO2e? What were the equivalencies/global warming potential values used to get to CO2e?
