2012-2022 National-Level Greenhouse Gas Emission Totals by Industry

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: April 21, 2026 at 08:05 PM | Dataset Last Updated: July 05, 2024
These data are an update to 2012-2020 Greenhouse Gas National- and State-Level Emission Totals by Industry (https://doi.org/10.23719/1529805). Data for 2021 and 2022 are added. The primary emissions source was updated to use the U.S. GHG Inventory 2024 report. The industry classifications were updated to use 2017 North American Industry Classification Codes. Totals by industry and state are not included. The code used to generate the datasets is available in the FLOWSA v2.0.3 tool (https://github.com/USEPA/flowsa/tree/v2.0.3). Values are given in total kilograms emitted for the given year, sector and location. Please see the related publication for more background information. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Young, B., C. Birney, and W.W. Ingwersen. Dataset of 2012-2020 U.S. National- and State-Level Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector.
