Note: Totals may differ from the sum of the sources due to independent rounding. All emissions
are reported in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTC02E).
* The Pennsylvania state Inventory did not include emissions by gas; thus, emissions of all gases,
expressed in C02 equivalents are presented in the right-most column.
The industrial processes sector grew by 76 percent between 1990 and 2000,
mostly due to the large increase in emissions from ozone depleting substances (ODS).
Emissions from the agriculture sector decreased by 3 percent between 1990 and 2000.
Emissions from the waste sector also decreased (48 percent) as Pennsylvania has
developed several projects to capture landfill gas for use in energy production. The land
use sector remained a sink of Pennsylvania's GHG emissions at approximately 14.4
MMTC02E for both 1990 and 2000, offsetting 5 percent of gross emissions.
Gross per capita emissions from Pennsylvania were 26 MTC02E in the 1990-
2000 timeframe, which is slightly above the gross national average of 25 MTC02E for
this same time period.
