TRI National Analysis

Overlap in TRI and GHGRP Reporting in the 2015 TRI National Analysis

See All Graphics in this Section

The figure below shows the overlap between facilities that report to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP).

Overlap of TRI and GHGRP Reporting in 2015.  In 2015, 21,849 facilities were covered by TRI, and 8,003 by GHGRP. 2015 GHGRP emissions were 3.05 billion mtCO2e; emissions from facilities also reporting to TRI were 2.1 billion mtCO2e.
 

In 2015:

  • Almost one-third of the facilities reporting to the GHGRP also reported to the TRI Program.
  • However, this subset of GHGRP reporters accounted for 69% of GHGRP emissions, indicating that the facilities reporting the greatest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions also trigger TRI requirements for reporting on toxic chemicals.
