Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

GHGRP 2011: Other Sectors

This sector consists of underground coal mines, electronics manufacturing, electrical equipment manufacturing and electrical transmission and distribution systems. The sector also includes stationary fuel combustion from all other commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities not covered under other sectors (e.g., ethanol production, food processing, and other manufacturing). Emissions from industrial waste landfills and industrial wastewater treatment at these facilities are included in the waste sector.

Process emissions from underground coal mines, electronics manufacturing, electrical equipment manufacturing and electrical transmission and distribution systems were reported in 2011 but not in 2010. These emissions are included in the table above. Total emissions from these source categories in 2011 were 37.6 MMT CO2e.

CO2 emissions from the combustion of biomass are NOT included in emissions totals provided above.
