EPA Releases 2023 Data Collected Under Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
WASHINGTON – Today, Oct. 15, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
released 2023 greenhouse gas data collected under the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas
Reporting Program. In 2023, reported direct emissions of greenhouse gases from
large stationary sources, representing approximately 50% of total U.S.
emissions, were down by approximately 4% from 2022.
More than 8,100 industrial facilities reported greenhouse gas emissions in
2023 to EPA. The data show that in 2023:
Power plants were the largest stationary source of U.S. greenhouse gas
emissions, with 1,320 facilities emitting approximately 1.5 billion metric
tons of carbon dioxide. Reported power plant emissions decreased by 7.2%
between 2022 and 2023. There is a 33.8% decrease in emissions since 2011
reflecting the long-term shifts in power sector fuel-stock from coal to
natural gas.
Petroleum and natural gas systems were the second largest stationary source of
reported emissions, reporting 322 million metric tons of greenhouse gas
emissions. Reported emissions for 2023 were 1.4% higher than in 2022, and
16.4% higher than 2016. (2016 is the earliest year of comparable data for this
sector, as new industry segments began reporting that year.)
Reported direct emissions from other large sources in the industrial and waste
sectors were a combined 785 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in
2023, down 1.1% from 2022, and down 10.3% since 2011. These are other direct
emission sources reporting to the GHGRP other than power plants and petroleum
and natural gas facilities.
From 2011 to 2023, total reported GHG emissions from large facilities
decreased by approximately 22%, driven by a decrease in power plant emissions.
This decline occurred despite the fact that after 2016, the program began
tracking additional sources.
The reporting year 2023 Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program Data does not yet
reflect the impact of several rules EPA issued in 2024 to tackle methane
emissions from the oil and gas sector and improve data quality. These actions
include standards to reduce methane and other harmful air pollution from new
and existing oil and natural gas operations; a final rule under the Greenhouse
Gas Reporting Program to strengthen, expand, and update methane emissions
reporting requirements for oil and gas operations to help close the gap
between observed and reported emissions; and other amendments to improve
Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program data.
EPA will be holding an informational webinar to demonstrate its internet-based
greenhouse gas data publication tools, including new features and a tutorial
on common searches, on Oct. 23. EPA will hold an additional webinar on Oct. 25
to demonstrate the data publication tools and searches as they relate to the
oil and gas sector (also known as subpart W).
This is the fourteenth year of data collection for most sectors under the
GHGRP. As directed by Congress, EPA collects annual, facility-level emissions
data from major industrial sources, including power plants, oil and gas
production, iron and steel mills, and landfills. GHGRP also collects activity
data from upstream fossil fuel and industrial gas suppliers. More than 8,100
direct emitters and suppliers report GHG data to GHGRP. 
Data reported from both direct emitters and upstream suppliers combined cover
85% to 90% of total U.S. GHG emissions. A complete accounting of total U.S.
GHG emissions across all sectors of the economy using national-level data is
available through a separate EPA report, the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Sinks.
