EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

Description:

US facility GHG emissions. The EPA’s Facility Level Information on Greenhouse Gases Tool “gives you access to greenhouse gas data reported to EPA by large emitters, facilities that inject CO2 underground, and suppliers of products that result in GHG emissions when used in the United States.” The information comes from the agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, which also provides bulk data downloads. Per the EPA: “Approximately 8,000 facilities are required to report their emissions annually, and the reported data are made available to the public in October of each year.” The data, which go back to 2010, indicate the facility type, emissions reported, measurement methods, types of fuel used, and much more. Previously: Climate TRACE’s estimates of the world’s largest GHG emitters (DIP 2022.11.16). [h/t Terin V. Mayer]
