Beginning with Reporting Year 2011, 12 new source categories began reporting GHG data for the first time. Due to the inclusion of new source categories at some facilities, the total emissions reported by these facilities increased from 2010 to 2011. This increase did not necessarily correspond to an increase in GHG emissions from that facility. Over time, the GHGRP will provide robust trend information for all facilities.

FLIGHT includes features that allow you to identify changes in emissions from 2010 to 2012 for individual GHG reporters that have submitted three years’ worth of data.

Step 1. Go to FLIGHT

When you first enter the Facility Level Information on Greenhouse Gases Tool (FLIGHT), you will be presented with three search options:

1. View all U.S. Facility Data
2. View Facilities in your State
3. Create a Custom Search

{toggle-cloak:id=1}

{cloak:id=1}

{cloak}

{composition-setup}{composition-setup}

Step 2. Select national search option

Click the box at the left of the popup window to View all U.S. Facility Data.

{composition-setup}{composition-setup}

{toggle-cloak:id=2}

{cloak:id=2}

{cloak}

{composition-setup}{composition-setup}

Step 3. Switch from Map View to List view (by facility)

Click the "List" button and the "Facility" button above the map window.

{composition-setup}{composition-setup}

{toggle-cloak:id=3}

{cloak:id=3}

{cloak}

{composition-setup}{composition-setup}

Step 4. Select Changes

Click the Changes icon to display each facility’s reported emissions for 2010, 2011, 2012, and the difference between these years. Please note the message that displays and ‘X’ it out when ready to view the data.

{composition-setup}{composition-setup}

{toggle-cloak:id=4a}

{cloak:id=4a}

{cloak}

{toggle-cloak:id=4}

{cloak:id=4}

{cloak}

Step 5. Sort the List

Click the Change in Emissions (2010 to 2011 or 2010 to 2012) column headers once to sort the list from highest to lowest, then click a second time to sort from lowest to highest.

{toggle-cloak:id=5}

{cloak:id=5}

{cloak}

Step 6. Identify the Facility of Interest

The facility at the top of list is the one whose emissions decreased the most in your search category.

{toggle-cloak:id=6}

{cloak:id=6}

{cloak}

Step 7. Select the Facility of Interest

Locate the facility on the left side list view and select it or search for the facility using the search box.

{toggle-cloak:id=7}

{cloak:id=7}

{cloak}

Step 8. View Emissions Trend for the Facility

Click Facility Emissions by Year to view how this facility’s emissions have changed over time.

{toggle-cloak:id=8}

{cloak:id=8}
