The US EPA Draft 2010 and 2009 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Reports provide anextensive amount of information about the primary sources of GHG emissions in the UnitedStates. Additionally, in September 2009, the US EPA promulgated rules to require GHGemission inventory data to be collected from several ...

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has for the first time issued greenhouse gas (GHG) standards for new aircraft which, it argues, will ensure “international consistency” and give US manufacturers a “level playing field” with foreign competitors. The government environmental regulator sa...
Globally, methane is the second most common greenhouse gas, but it is the most efficient at trapping heat. The EPA reports that methane is 25 times more efficient at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. In 2016, the gas accounted for about 10% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according...
Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions often reduces co-emitted air pollutants, with advantages for human health. Avoided mortality from air pollution, a co-benefit of CO2 abatement, is estimated under global climate change mitigation scenarios to be in
The majority of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, those generated as a result of human activity, are from burning fossil fuels. As shown in Figure 1, 75% of GHG emissions are carbon dioxide (CO2). Fossil fuel combustion in the energy sector is the primary source of CO2emissions...
Expanding industrial and agricultural growth are leading to greater emissions of many compounds that are changing the earth's atmosphere and climate. The changes are warming of the climate caused by greenhouse gases, stratospheric ozone modifications caused by chlorofluorocarbons, and tropospheric chemistry...
EPA plans global outreach, training to help curb greenhouse gas emissionsFederal environmental regulators will begin working globally nwith foreign governments and corporations to curb greenhouse-ngas emissions, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator nLisa Jackson said last week at an international ...
