{longname} Q423. What is the difference between direct emitters and suppliers? {longname} |
A423.
...
The
...
GHGRP
...
collects
...
data
...
from
...
two
...
types
...
of
...
entities:
...
Direct
...
emitters
...
and
...
Suppliers.
...
- "Direct
...
- emitters"
...
- are
...
- facilities
...
- that
...
- combust
...
- fuels
...
- or
...
- otherwise
...
- put
...
- GHGs
...
- into
...
- the
...
- atmosphere
...
- directly
...
- from
...
- their
...
- facility.
...
- An
...
- example
...
- of
...
- this
...
- is
...
- a
...
- power
...
- plant
...
- that
...
- burns
...
- coal
...
- or
...
- natural
...
- gas
...
- and
...
- emits
...
- carbon
...
- dioxide
...
- directly
...
- into
...
- the
...
- atmosphere.
...
- EPA
...
- estimates
...
- that
...
- the
...
- GHGRP
...
- data
...
- reported
...
- by
...
- direct
...
- emitters
...
- covers
...
- about
...
- half
...
- of
...
- total
...
- U.S.
...
- emissions.
...
- "Suppliers"
...
- are
...
- those
...
- entities
...
- that
...
- supply
...
- products
...
- into
...
- the
...
- economy
...
- which
...
- if
...
- combusted,
...
- released
...
- or
...
- oxidized
...
- emit
...
- greenhouse
...
- gases
...
- into
...
- the
...
- atmosphere.
...
- These
...
- fuels
...
- and
...
- industrial
...
- gases
...
- are
...
- not
...
- emitted
...
- from
...
- the
...
- supplier
...
- facility
...
- but
...
- instead
...
- distributed
...
- throughout
...
- the
...
- country
...
- and
...
- used.
...
- An
...
- example
...
- of
...
- this
...
- is
...
- gasoline,
...
- which
...
- is
...
- sold
...
- in
...
- the
...
- U.S.
...
- and
...
- primarily
...
- burned
...
- in
...
- cars
...
- throughout
...
- the
...
- country.
...
- The
...
- majority
...
- of
...
- GHG
...
- emissions
...
- associated
...
- with
...
- the
...
- transportation,
...
- residential
...
- and
...
- commercial
...
- sectors
...
- are
...
- accounted
...
- for
...
- by
...
- these
...
- suppliers.
