US Historical GHG Emissions
October 16, 2021
Total historical US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the period 1990-2019, by type of GHG; without Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) emissions and sinks.
GHG’s peak in 2007 before declining to around 1990 levels by 2019. By far, the largest contributor to total US GHG emissions is CO2.
US Historical CO2 Emissions
October 16, 2021
Historical US carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by demand sector (transportation, electric power, industrial, residential, commercial, and other) for 1990-2019.
The decrease in US emissions in recent years is largely driven by a reduction in CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion.
US GHG Emission Intensity for Natural Gas Systems
October 16, 2021
US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity for natural gas systems to 2030 calculated as total emissions from natural gas systems divided by historical and future dry gas productions. Additional chart illustrating Incorrys emissions forecast methodology.
Emissions intensity is forecast to decline as the result of various measures mainly focused on methane (CH4) emission reductions, the largest compound of natural gas.
US GHG Emissions from Natural Gas Systems
October 16, 2021
US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from natural gas systems, from 2000-2030, showing emissions from methane (CH4) and non-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2). Additional chart illustrating Incorrys emissions forecast methodology.
Natural gas systems were the second largest anthropogenic source category of CH4 emissions in the United States in 2019.
Forecast of Emissions from US Oil Production
October 16, 2021
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions forecast from US oil production to 2030, by sector (exploration, production, transportation, and refining of oil).
GHG emissions increase slightly after 2022-2023 due to tight oil production growth and then decline post 2027.
Forecast of Emissions from US Oil Production by GHG
October 20, 2021
Forecast to 2030 of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from US oil exploration, production, transportation and refining, by type of GHG.
Emissions of CO2 and CH4 are mostly emitted by petroleum systems. Emissions of other gases is negligible.
Forecast of US Emissions from Natural Gas Flaring
October 16, 2021
US carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions from associated natural gas flaring forecast to 2030.
Incorrys prepared the forecast for flaring based on analysis of processing and pipeline infrastructure, associated-gas supply forecast, and government regulations.
