This page provides step-by-step instructions for finding information on facility-level emissions trends.
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
