Released Tuesday, the EPA’s 2023 greenhouse gas data report states the decrease in direct emissions was self-reported by large stationary sources, which represent 50% of all U.S. emissions. The report states that more than 8,100 industrial facilities reported their greenhouse gas emissions, with power plants being the largest stationary source. A total 1,320 facilities emitting some 1.5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide last year.” (10/16/24)
