EPA Releases 2023 Data Collected Under Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
EPA released 2023 greenhouse gas data collected under the EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. In 2023, reported direct emissions of greenhouse gases from large stationary sources, representing approximately 50% of total U.S. emissions, were down by approximately 4% from 2022. From 2011 to 2023, total reported GHG emissions from large facilities decreased by approximately 22%, driven by a decrease in power plant emissions. This is the fourteenth year of data collection for most sectors under the GHGRP. As directed by Congress, EPA collects annual, facility-level emissions data from major industrial sources, including power plants, oil and gas production, iron and steel mills, and landfills. More than 8,100 direct emitters and suppliers report GHG data to GHGRP.
