U.S. Methane Emissions 1990 - 2020: Inventories, Projections, and Opportunities from EPA
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
This report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) presents a baseline forecast of methane emissions from the major anthropogenic and natural sources in the U.S. and cost estimates of reducing these emissions.
Description
Emissions estimates are given for 1990 through 1997 with projections for 2000 to 2020. Methane is a valuable energy resource and the second leading anthropogenic contributor to global climate change after carbon dioxide.
Major anthropogenic sources of methane emissions are: livestock manure domestic sewage coal landfills biomass burning natural gas and oil rice paddies enteric fermentation Major natural sources of methane emissions are: termites oceans and freshwater gas hydrates wetlands The report is available online in .pdf format from:
