Emissions of greenhouse gases in the United States: 1987--1992

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10194559
This is the second annual Energy Information Administration (EIA) report on US emissions of greenhouse gases. This report presents estimates of US anthropogenic (human-caused) emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and several other greenhouse gases for the period 1987 to 1992. Estimates of 1993 carbon dioxide emissions are also provided, although complete 1993 estimates for other gases are not yet available. Many of the estimates in this report have been revised from the first EIA report. Estimates of carbon dioxide emissions were revised upward by about 25 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (0.5 percent) for each year as a result of revised emissions coefficients and revised estimates of nonfuel use of fossil fuels. Methane emissions estimates were revised downward by about 2 million metric tons (6.6 percent) for each year as a result of changes in estimation methods.
