Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2004
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
[[Page 9822]]
ACTION: Notice of document availability and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Draft Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and
Sinks: 1990-2004 is available for public review. Annual U.S. emissions
for the period of time from 1990-2004 are summarized and presented by
source category and sector. The inventory contains estimates of carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
(N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC), and
sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) emissions. The inventory also
includes estimates of carbon sequestration in U.S. forests. The
technical approach used in this report to estimate emissions and sinks
for greenhouse gases is consistent with the methodologies recommended
by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and reported in
a format consistent with the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting guidelines. The Inventory of U.S.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks is the latest in a series of annual
U.S. submissions to the Secretariat of the UNFCCC.
