Projections & Mitigation Costs

EPA collects and analyzes data on future emissions of non-CO₂ greenhouse gases, technological options for reducing these emissions, and the costs associated with emission reductions. These analyses have two objectives.

First, they present EPA’s baseline forecast of non-CO₂ greenhouse gas emissions from the major human-related sources in the U.S. and worldwide, as well as EPA’s cost estimates of reducing these emissions.
Second, these analyses provide a transparent methodology for the calculation of emission estimates and reduction costs, thereby enabling other analysts to replicate these results or use the approaches described herein to conduct similar analyses in other countries or for other sectors.
