GHGRP 2019: Reported Data
For reportingyear (RY) 2019, over 8,000 facilities and suppliers reported to the greenhouse gas
reporting program. Among these reporters,
7,624 facilities in nine industry sectors
reported direct emissions.
Reported direct emissions totaled 2.85 billion
metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (C02e),
about half of total U.S. greenhouse gas
emissions;
949 suppliers of fossil fuels and industrial gases
reported; and
99 facilities reported injecting
CO2 underground.
Summary GHGRP data has been broken into several
sections.
Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program Background
As directed by Congress, EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) collects annual
greenhouse gas information from the top emitting sectors of the U.S. economy (Table 1). The
GHGRP is the only dataset containing facility-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data from large
industrial sources across the United States. With seven consecutive years of reporting for most
sectors, GHGRP data are providing important new information on industrial emissionsshowing
variation in emissions across facilities within an industry, variation in industrial emissions across
geographic areas, and changes in emissions over time at the sector and facility level. EPA is using
this facility-level data to improve estimates of national greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S.
Greenhouse Gas Inventory.
This document summarizes national industrial sector emissions and trends.
All emissions presented here reflect
the most recent information reported
to EPA as of 8/4/2019. The reported
emissions exclude biogenic CO2. GHG
data displayed here in units of carbon
dioxide equivalent (CC^e) reflect the
global warming potential (GWP)
values from Table A-l of 40 CFR 98,
which is generally based on the IPCC
AR4, with the addition of GWPs from
the IPCC AR5 fluorinated GHGs that
did not have GWPs in the AR4.

2019 GHGRP Data Highlights
Reported Data
The GHGRP does not represent total U.S. GHG emissions, but provides facility level data for large
sources of direct emissions, thus representing the majority of U.S. GHG emissions. The GHGRP data
collected from direct emitters represent about half of all U.S. emissions. When including greenhouse
gas information reported to the GHGRP by suppliers, emissions coverage reaches approximately
85-90% (See Figure 1}. The Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions arid Sinks: 1990-
2018 contains information on all GHG emissions sources and sinks in the United States.
Learn more about the differences between the Inventory and the GHGRP.
Figure 1: U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory and the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
1 Covers 100% of emissions from al
sources and sinks at national level.
2 Covers GHGs reported by large
emitters and fuel/gas suppliers within
these sectors.
Suppliers report the quantity of GHGs that would be emitted if the fuels and industrial GHGs that
they place into the economy each year are used/released. Emissions associated with these fuels and
industrial gases do not occur at the supplier's facility but instead occur throughout the country,
wherever they are used. An example of this is gasoline, which is supplied into the U.S. economy by a
relatively small number of entities and consumed by many individual vehicles throughout the
country. The majority of GHG emissions associated with the transportation, residential, and
commercial sectors are accounted for by these suppliers. This document focuses on data reported
by direct emitters. Data reported by suppliers can be viewed through the suppliers section of the
Facility Level Information on GreenHouse gases Tool (FLIGHT). Learn more about suppliers and
their 2019 reported data.

GHGRP Calculation Methods Used
The GHGRP prescribes methodologies that must be used to determine GHG emissions from each
source category. Reporters generally have the flexibility to choose among several methods to
compute GHG emissions. The decision of which method to use may be influenced by the existing
environmental monitoring systems in place and other factors. Reporters can change emission
calculation methods from year to year and within the same year, as long as they meet the
requirements for use of the method selected.
Additional information on the methodologies that reporters use to determine GHG emissions.
Report Verification
All reports submitted to EPA are evaluated by electronic validation and verification checks. If
potential errors are identified, EPA will notify the reporter, who can resolve the issue either by

The U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory contains information on all sources of GHG emissions and sinks
in the United States from 1990 to 2018.
All GHG emissions data reflect the global warming potential (GWP) values from the Fourth
Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Climate Change 2007:
The Physical Science Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment Report of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [Core Writing Team, Pachauri, R.K. and Reisinger, A.
(eds)]. 1PCC, Geneva, Switzerland2007], The AR4 values also can be found in the current version of

Emission Trends
Emissions Trends
National level trends in greenhouse gas emissions are available through the Inventory of U.S.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2018 (April 2022). The GHGRP is different from the U.S.
GHG inventory in that it collects information from the largest stationary sources in the U.S. and
provides nearly complete emissions coverage for many of the largest emitting industries. Trends in
emissions reported for individual industries are discussed in the industry-specific reports.
The U.S. GHG Inventory is not yet available for 2019. For sources reporting to the GHGRP, emissions
decreased 4.7% from 2018 to 2019. Between 2011 and 2019, GHGRP-reported direct emissions
(e.g. excluding suppliers) decreased 19.0%. This decline is primarily caused by the decline in
reported emissions from power plants, which decreased 24.9% over the same period.

This map shows the locations of direct-emitting facilities. The size of a circle corresponds to the
quantity of emissions reported by that facility. There are also facilities located in Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam.
Readers can identify facilities in their state, territory, county, or city by visiting FLIGHT.
Because it generally applies to facilities that emit greater than 25,000 metric tons C02e per year,
the GHGRP provides total reported emissions from large stationary sources in each state. Figure 6
shows the reported emissions in each state broken out by industrial sector.

Emissions Ranges
The GHGRP provides a comprehensive dataset that can be used to determine the number of
facilities at various emissions levels in many industry sectors. The GHGRP can also be used to
determine the total GHG emissions from individual facilities, including emissions from fossil fuel
combustion and other processes. This information is valuable for planning future policies. GHGRP
data provide policy makers with a better understanding of the number of facilities and total
emissions that would be covered by potential GHG reduction policies for various industries.

Percent of Facilities at Indicated Range Cumulative Emissions
Seventy-eight percent of reporting facilities had emissions less than 250,000 metric tons C02e. In
2019, the 658 largest-emitting facilitiesthose emitting more than one million metric tons C02e
accounted for approximately 1.96 billion metric tons of C02e. These emissions represent 68.7% of
the total 2.85 billion metric tons of C02e reported. These high-emitting facilities are mainly power
plants, but they also include facilities in all other direct emitter sectors.
You can use FLIGHT to list and sort facilities based on total reported emissions. This tool also
allows you to sort facilities by specific industry types.

Power Plants
GHGRP 2019: Power Plants
The power plant sector consists of facilities that produce electricity by combusting fossil fuels
and/or biomass. The sector includes units that are subject to the Acid Rain Program and any other
electricity generators that are otherwise required to report to the EPA C02 mass emissions year-
round according to 40 CFR part 75. This sector also includes combustion units serving electricity
generators that are located at facilities with primary NAICS codes of 221330 (Steam and Air-
Conditioning Supply8) or 2211xx (Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution),
which includes some part 75 reporters that report heat input to the EPA on a year-round basis. The
emissions from this sector are solely from stationary fuel combustion sources.

Non-Fluorinated Chemicals
Non-Fluorinated Chemicals
The non-fluorinated chemical manufacturing subsector consists of facilities that produce adipic
acid, ammonia, hydrogen (both merchant and non-merchant plants), nitric acid, petrochemicals
(acrylonitrile, carbon black, ethylene, ethylene dichloride, ethylene oxide, methanol], phosphoric
acid, silicon carbide, soda ash, and titanium dioxide and other non-fluorinated chemicals. In
addition to emissions from these chemical production processes, the subsector includes
combustion emissions from facilities that produce pesticides, fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, and other
organic and inorganic chemicals. A total of 433 facilities reported 2019 emissions under the non-
fluorinated chemicals subsector. A small number of facilities in this subsector collect C02 either for
use in their other production processes, to transfer to other users, or to sequester or otherwise
inject underground; this subsector includes the C02 from those process emissions. For example,
some of the process emissions reported for ammonia manufacturing plants includes C02 that is
later consumed on site for urea production. This C02 is not released to the ambient air from the
ammonia manufacturing process unit(s).

GHGRP 2019: Minerals
The minerals sector consists of cement production, glass production, lime manufacturing, soda ash
manufacturing and any other mineral production facility operating under NAICS codes beginning
with 327 (Non-metallic Mineral Product Manufacturing). Facilities under this sector transform
mined or quarried non-metallic minerals such as sand, gravel, stone, clay, and refractory
materials into products for intermediate or final consumption. Glass, cement, soda ash and lime
facilities report both process emissions from the calcination of carbonate-based raw materials and
GHG emissions from stationary fuel combustion sources. All other mineral production facilities
report only GHG emissions from stationary fuel combustion sources. A small number of facilities in
this sector collect CO2 either for use in their other production processes (e.g., sugar refining), to
transfer to other users, or to sequester or otherwise inject underground. This sector includes the
CO2 emissions reported for those processes.

Pulp and Paper
GHGRP 2019: Pulp and Paper
The pulp and paper sector consists of facilities that produce market pulp or that manufacture pulp
and paper. Facilities that have pulping processes report the GHG emissions from chemical recovery
units, lime kilns, and stationary fuel combustion units. In addition to emissions from pulp
production processes, the sector includes combustion emissions from facilities that produce paper
products from purchased pulp, produce secondary fiber from recycled paper, convert paper into
paperboard products, operate coating and laminating processes, print products (such as books,
labels, business cards, stationery, and business forms), and perform support activities (such as data
imaging, plate-making services, and bookbinding). Emissions from industrial landfills and industrial
wastewater treatment at these facilities in the pulp and paper sector are included in the waste
sector.

Supplier Highlights
GHGRP 2019: Supplier Highlights
For reportingyear (RY] 2019, over 900 suppliers of fuels and industrial gases reported to EPA's
Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP).
Suppliers do not report direct emissions, but instead report the quantity of GHGs that would be
emitted if the fuels and industrial GHGs that they produce, import, or export each year were
combusted, released, or oxidized. Emissions associated with these fuels and industrial gases do not
occur at the supplier's facility but instead occur throughout the country, wherever they are used. An
example of this is gasoline, which is supplied into the U.S. economy by a relatively small number of
entities and consumed by many individual vehicles throughout the country.
The GHG quantity reported by suppliers might not always result in GHG emissions, and the
emissions might not take place during that particular reportingyear. However, the data from
suppliers provide important information on the structure and flow of products through the
economy and these products may ultimately result in greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, data
reported by fossil fuel and industrial gas suppliers can account for greenhouse gases emitted by the
numerous sources that use these products but do not report under the GHGRP due to their low
individual emissions (passenger vehicles, for example). Emissions reported by suppliers can be
accessed through the suppliers section of FLIGHT.
For 2019, 949 suppliers submitted a GHG report. The majority of GHG emissions associated with
the transportation, residential, and commercial sectors are accounted for by these suppliers.

Suppliers of Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids
GHGRP 2019: Suppliers of Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids
This sector consists of entities that supply natural gas and natural gas liquids. Natural gas supply is
reported by Local Distribution Companies (LDCs) and natural gas liquids (NGL} supply is reported
by fractionators.
NGL Fractionators are installations that receive natural gas or bulk natural gas liquids from
producers, fractionate these raw inputs into individual products (ethane, propane, normal butane,
isobutane, or pentanes plus], and then supply those products into the economy.
Local Distribution Companies receive natural gas from a transmission pipeline company and
physically deliver the gas to end users.
These Suppliers report the quantity of C02 that would be emitted if the fuels they supply each year
were combusted. Emissions associated with these fuels do not occur at the supplier's facility but
instead occur throughout the country, wherever they are used. The full GHG quantity reported by
suppliers might not always result in GHG emissions, and the emissions might not take place during
the year in which they are reported. An example is ethane supplied by NGL fractionators, which is
often used to produce plastics.
The GHG quantities reported by suppliers can be accessed through the suppliers section of FLIGHT.
Some natural gas and natural gas liquids suppliers also report direct emissions from petroleum and
natural gas operations. Click here to learn more.

GHGRP 2019: Suppliers of Petroleum Products
This sector comprises petroleum refineries and importers and exports of petroleum products and
natural gas liquids. These suppliers do not report direct emissions, but instead report the quantity
of CO2 that would be emitted if the fuels and other products they supply each year were combusted.
Petroleum refineries also report the volume of all feedstocks entering the refinery.
Emissions associated with these products do not occur at the supplier's facility but instead occur
throughout the country, wherever they are used. The full GHG quantity reported by suppliers might
not always result in GHG emissions, and the emissions might not take place during that particular
reporting year. An example is ethylene, which is a byproduct from petroleum refining that is often
used to produce plastics.
The GHG quantities reported by suppliers can be accessed through the suppliers section of FLIGHT.
Petroleum refineries also report direct emissions under other applicable subparts.

Capture, Supply, and Underground Injection of Carbon Dioxide
GHGRP 2019: Capture, Supply, and Underground Injection of
Carbon Dioxide
EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) collects key information regarding the capture,
supply, and underground injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the United States. Greenhouse gas
(GHG) data from these activities are reported under the following GHGRP subparts:
Suppliers of CO2 (subpart PP1 covers facilities that capture CO2 from industrial sources and
processes or extract it from natural C02-bearing formations for supply into the economy.
Underground injection of C02 (subpart UU] covers facilities that inject C02 underground for
enhanced oil and gas recovery (ER), acid gas injection/disposal, carbon storage research
and development (R&D), or for any other purpose other than geologic sequestration.
Geologic sequestration of CO2 fsubpart RR] provides a mechanism for facilities to monitor
and report to EPA amounts of CO2 sequestered. Facilities submit a plan for monitoring,
reporting and verifying CO2 sequestered underground. Once the plan is approved, facilities
report basic information on CO2 received for injection, data related to the amounts of C02
sequestered, and annual monitoring activities. EPA approved the first "monitoring,
reporting and verification" plan in December 2015 and data will be reported starting in the
2016 reporting year.

In 20191, most of the CO2 captured from industrial processes (66 percent) and nearly all of the CO2
produced from natural sources (96 percent) was used for ER. Food and beverage manufacturing is
the second most common end use, followed by other end uses such as pulp and paper
manufacturing fire-fighting equipment, and metal fabrication.

* Includes cleaning and solvent use, fumigants and herbicides, transportation and storage of
explosives, fire-fighting equipment, industrial and municipal water/wastewater treatment, pulp
and paper, metal fabrication, greenhouse plant growth, long term storage, and unknown (which
may include ER).
** Note that some CO2 suppliers reported the primary end use for captured or produced CO2 as
"unknown." It is believed that the quantities reported by CO2 suppliers as "unknown" account for
the difference between CO2 received for ER and C02 supplied for ER.
Underground Injection of CO2
After CO2 is captured or produced, it can be compressed and transported to a site where it is
injected underground. Some facilities both capture or produce CO2 and inject it underground onsite.
The primary use of carbon dioxide is for ER. ER helps to mobilize oil and gas in underground
hydrocarbon reservoirs, thereby increasing production. While most CO2 captured or produced is
supplied to facilities that conduct ER, a smaller portion is injected underground for other purposes.
