The GHG reporting program (GHGRP) is developed using bottom-up methods and covers roughly 85 to 90 percent of total U.S. GHG emissions.  This includes direct emissions data reported by stationary sources - including nearly all emissions from electricity generation and most emissions from industry which account for roughly 50% of total U.S. emissions.  This also includes GHG data reported by suppliers of fossil fuels and industrial gases - which accounts for the vast majority of emissions from transportation, commercial and residential sources, roughly 40% of total U.S. emissions.  The GHGRP does not include emissions from the agriculture and land use sectors, or other small sources of emissions.  Note that the data for direct emitting stationary sources is housed in a separate section of FLIGHT from the suppliers of fuels and other industrial gases.  The default view of the GHG data in FLIGHT includes emissions reported by direct emitters only.  For more information: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/inventory-us-greenhouse-gas-emissions-and-sinks.
