1 Oregon Greenhouse Gas Statewide Sector-Based Inventory Statewide Greenhouse Gas Emissions inventory data with preliminary emissions estimates for 2016 Oregon s greenhouse gas statewide sector-based inventory accounts for anthropogenic emissions that occur within Oregon s key sectors including the transportation, residential, commercial, industrial, agriculture and electricity sectors. Emissions from the electricity sector account all emissions from the generation of electricity used in Oregon including generation outside the state that is imported for use by Oregonians. Conversely, emissions from electricity generated in Oregon but utilized outside of the state are not included in this inventory. Emission estimates are based on the most current available data from Oregon s greenhouse gas reporting program and EPA s State Inventory Tool. 1 Total Emissions in Million Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MTCO2e) Emissions Year Million MTCO2e Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program 700 NE Multnomah St. Suite 600 Portland, OR Phone: Fax: Contact: Elizabeth Elbel Emissions by Key Sector Transportation Electricity use Natural gas use Residential and Commercial Industrial Agriculture Total Statewide Emissions DEQ is a leader in restoring, maintaining and enhancing the quality of Oregon s air, land and water.

All data are expressed in Million Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (Million MTCO2e) and calculated utilizing Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) 100-yr Global Warming Potentials data utilizes 2016 emissions data reported to DEQ s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program and 2015 modeled data from EPA s State Inventory Tool. It is considered to be preliminary and is subject to change. Please contact the Oregon DEQ Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program for the latest information and for the full data set at GHGReport@deq.state.or.us. 3 High Global Warming Potential gases (HGWP) include hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF 3 ). 4 Combustion byproducts include the methane and nitrous oxide emissions attributed to the combustion of natural gas, petroleum, coal, and biomass within each sector. 5 The industrial sector natural gas combustion excludes emissions from natural gas use at electricity generating facilities. Emissions from in-state facilities generating electricity utilized in Oregon are accounted for in the electricity use emissions. 6 Industrial coal combustion excludes emissions from coal combustion at electricity generating facilities in Oregon, specifically the PGE Boardman facility. Electricity generated from coal at this facility and provided for use in Oregon is accounted for in the electricity use emissions.
