Overview

Data collected under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program must be available to the public unless the data qualify for confidential treatment under the Clean Air Act. EPA typically makes confidentiality determinations under the Clean Air Act on a case-by-case basis. Due to the large numbers of entities reporting under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program and the large number of data reporting elements, EPA concluded that case-by-case determinations would not result in a timely release of non-confidential data. EPA determines which data will be protected as confidential business information (CBI) through rulemakings and other actions. Any data submitted under the GHGRP that is classified as CBI will be protected under the provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.

Summary Confidentiality Determinations as of April 8, 2014:

Direct Emitters CBI Table

Suppliers CBI Table

CBI Data Aggregation

On June 9, 2014, EPA issued a Federal Register notice (PDF) (6 pp, 224K) announcing its intent to publish aggregated forms of certain reported data. The notice included criteria that EPA would use to confirm that particular aggregations shield the underlying CBI from public disclosure.

Any data aggregation that EPA undertakes will not alter any reporting requirements or the rights of reporting entities under EPA's CBI regulations at 40 CFR part 2 subpart B.

See the criteria for aggregating GHGRP data

1a. The data used to calculate the aggregated value must be reported by at least four separate facilities or suppliers that have no common ownership or operator;

2a. No single owner or operator of individual or multiple facilities can contribute more than x percent to a particular aggregated value. (EPA will not disclose the value of x.)

3a. No two owners or operators of individual or multiple facilities can contribute more than y percent to a particular aggregated value. (EPA will not disclose the value of y.)

4a. No underlying CBI for a facilitiy or supplier can be back-calculated or otherwise determined using the aggregated value in combination with other publicly available data, including any facility-, supplier-, regional-, or national-level data published by the GHGRP or any other data likely to be available to owners, operators, or the public.

Electronic Verification Approach for certain data elements (Inputs Verification Tool)

On October 24, 2014, EPA published amendments to reporting and recordkeeping requirements that included an alternative electronic verification approach for certain reporters. These changes address concerns that public disclosure of certain data elements that are inputs to the equations used to calculate emissions would reveal business sensitive information. Where disclosure concerns were identified, EPA is requiring that in lieu of reporting these inputs, facilities must enter the inputs into an electronic inputs verification tool (IVT), and will be subject to enhanced recordkeeping and reporting requirements. These inputs will be used to conduct verification checks at the time of report submission but will not be collected by EPA. This approach will maintain EPA's ability to verify emissions and ensure compliance with the program.

				Notice
				This notice describes the EPAâ€™s intent to publish aggregated versions of certain data collected under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, including totals, averages, and other aggregated versions of data submitted by individual reporters. The data that EPA intends to aggregate were determined in previous rulemakings to be confidential business information in their original, non-aggregated form. This notice describes the criteria EPA plans to use to determine whether confidential data are sufficiently aggregated such that publishing them would provide useful information while protecting the data that are entitled to confidentiality. In a memorandum to the docket for this notice, EPA also provides a list of data elements identified for possible future publication in aggregated form if they meet the final version of these criteria.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHGRP Yearly Overview Data Highlights

EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program periodically produces detailed profiles of the various industries that report under the program. These profiles, available for download below, contain detailed analyses that include estimates of GHGRP coverage, emissions trends (including discussion), emissions by state, gas, and process, the number of reporters whose emissions fall above and below certain threshold values, and monitoring methods used. Each profile contains data from the indicated year back to 2011, and in some cases, 2010.

A simple summary of yearly data for each industry sector is available via the Data Highlights section of the GHGRP website, and data are available in interactive format via FLIGHT. Raw data are also available for download on the GHG Reporting Program Data Sets page.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHGRP Miscellaneous Combustion

 Miscellaneous Combustion comprises facilities that reported GHG emissions from stationary fuel combustion sources only and that are not part of any other sector. This category includes food processing, ethanol production, manufacturing operations, universities, military installations, and any combustion sources not included elsewhere, such as mining operations and hospitals.

2015 Total Reported Direct Emissions from Miscellaneous Combustion, by Subsector (as of 8/13/16).

Sum of percentages may not equal 100% due to independent rounding.

Trend of Annual Reported GHG Emissions from Miscellaneous Combustion, by Subsector (as of 8/13/16).

Location and emissions range for each reporting facility in the Miscellaneous Combustion sector (as of 8/13/16).

This map shows the locations of direct-emitting facilities. The size of a circle corresponds to the quantity of emissions reported by that facility.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHGRP Electronics Manufacturing

 This source category includes, but is not limited to, facilities that manufacture semiconductors (including light-emitting diodes), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and photovoltaic cells (PV). Specifically, this subsector consists of electronics manufacturing facilities with production processes that use plasma-generated fluorine atoms and other reactive fluorine-containing fragments to etch thin films, clean chambers for depositing thin films, clean wafers, or remove residual material. The source category also includes electronics manufacturing facilities with chemical vapor deposition processes or other production processes that use N2O, and with processes that use fluorinated GHGs as heat transfer fluids (HTF) to control temperature or clean surfaces.

Location and emissions range for each reporting facility in the Electronics Manufacturing sector (as of 8/13/16).

This map shows the locations of direct-emitting facilities. The size of a circle corresponds to the quantity of emissions reported by that facility.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHG Reporting Program Data Sets

The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) collects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) data from large emitting facilities, suppliers of fossil fuels and industrial gases that result in GHG emissions when used, and facilities that inject carbon dioxide underground. Learn more about the GHGRP.

Data Highlights Website: A high level summary of yearly GHG data reported to EPA. These pages summarize GHGRP data nationally and by industry sector using maps, charts, and tables.

			Facility Level Information on GreenHouse Gases Tool (FLIGHT): An interactive website with mapping features to identify GHGRP facilities by location, name, industry type, and other criteria. FLIGHT can also generate and download customized graphics (pie charts, trend lines, etc.) and facility lists.

2015 Data Summary Spreadsheets(7 pp, 17 MB)
: Compressed file contains a multi-year data summary spreadsheet containing the most important, high-level information for facilities, as well as yearly spreadsheets containing slightly more detailed information than the multi-year summary, including reported emissions by greenhouse gas and process.

Envirofacts: Provides all publicly available data collected by the GHGRP in a searchable, downloadable format for facilities. This includes GHG data and much of the underlying data facilities use to determine GHG values and other reported data elements in 32 industry types.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

Suppliers of Industrial GHGs and Products Containing GHGs

This sector comprises industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) suppliers and entities that import or export certain products that contain fluorinated greenhouse gases. These suppliers do not report direct emissions, but instead report the equivalent quantity of CO2 that would be emitted if the gases that they produce, import, or export each year were released to the atmosphere.

Industrial GHG Suppliers. Entities that manufacture, import, or export fluorinated greenhouse gases or nitrous oxide in bulk report as suppliers of industrial GHGs under Subpart OO of the GHGRP. The number of reporters displayed in the table below includes all reporters subject to Subpart OO, not just those reporting supply of the specific compounds listed in the table titled Quantity (Net Supply) of GHGs Reported.

Importers and Exporters of (1) equipment that is pre-charged with fluorinated greenhouse gases (e.g., electrical equipment and air conditioners) and (2) closed cell foams containing fluorinated greenhouse gases (e.g., insulation contained inside refrigerators; insulation boardstock) report under Subpart QQ.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHGRP Chemicals

 The chemical manufacturing sector consists of facilities that manufacture organic or inorganic chemicals. For this summary, the sector is broken down into facilities that produce fluorinated chemicals and non-fluorinated chemicals. The non-fluorinated chemicals subsector comprises facilities that produce adipic acid, ammonia, hydrogen (both merchant and non-merchant plants), nitric acid, petrochemicals, phosphoric acid, silicon carbide, and titanium dioxide. The fluorinated chemicals subsector comprises facilities that produce HCFC-22 (or destroy HFC-23) and other fluorinated chemicals. A more detailed description of these subsectors is provided below. A total of 463 chemicals facilities reported in 2015.

Chemicals (Non-fluorinated)

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. 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 445 facilities reported 2014 emissions under the non-fluorinated chemicals subsector. A small number of facilities in this subsector collect CO2 either for use in their other production processes, to transfer to other users, or to sequester or otherwise inject underground; this subsector includes the CO2 from those process emissions. For example, some of the process emissions reported for ammonia manufacturing plants includes CO2 that is later consumed on site for urea production. This CO2 is not released to the ambient air from the ammonia manufacturing process unit(s).

Fluorinated Chemicals

The fluorinated chemical subsector includes facilities that produce hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), other fluorinated GHGs such as fluorinated ethers, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), including chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22). The subsector also includes facilities that destroy HFC-23, which is a by-product of HCFC-22 production and which may be emitted from the destruction process. This subsector does not include industries that use these fluorinated GHGs (i.e. semiconductors).

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHG Reporting Program Media Center

The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) collects greenhouse gas data from forty-one source categories. GHGRP data includes direct emissions from large stationary sources, accounting for approximately half of total US GHG emissions, and also data from suppliers of materials that would result in GHG emissions when those materials are burned or released. Most industries began reporting for 2010, additional industries began reporting for 2011.

On October 4th, EPA released new greenhouse gas data for 2015. More than 8,000 large facilities reported direct greenhouse gas emissions to the program in 2015, representing approximately 50 percent of total U.S. emissions. Highlights of this year’s information include:

Power plants remained the largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, with nearly 1,500 facilities emitting approximately 2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, roughly 30 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas pollution in 2015. Power plant emissions in 2015 declined by 6.2 percent as compared to 2014, and by 11.3 percent since 2011.

Petroleum and natural gas systems were the second largest stationary source of emissions, reporting 231 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Reported emissions for 2015 were 1.6 percent lower than 2014, but 4.1 percent higher than 2011.

Reported emissions from other large sources in the industrial and waste sectors were a combined 852 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2015, down 1.6 percent from 2014. Most sectors reported emissions reductions, with large declines in reported emissions from the iron and steel sector and the production of fluorinated chemicals.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHGRP Refineries

 The refinery sector consists of facilities that produce gasoline, gasoline blending stocks, naphtha, kerosene, distillate fuel oils, residual fuel oils, lubricants, or asphalt (bitumen) by the distillation of petroleum or the re-distillation, cracking, or reforming of unfinished petroleum derivatives. GHG process emissions from this sector include emissions from venting, flares, and fugitive leaks from equipment (e.g., valves, flanges, pumps). In addition to emissions from petroleum refining processes, the sector includes combustion emissions from stationary combustion units located at these facilities. Process emissions from hydrogen production plants and petrochemical manufacturing facilities located at refineries are included in the chemical manufacturing sector. Emissions from industrial waste landfills and industrial wastewater treatment at these facilities are included in the waste sector.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHGRP 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. Click here to learn more.
