Notes on Comparing Emissions Estimates:

Several factors may contribute to differences between emissions estimates from different sources. Data may be reported for different years; emissions for most states vary significantly over time. Estimates may be based on differing approaches (e.g., stack testing for the Acid Rain Program data vs. emission factors and fuel consumption estimates for other estimates) or on differing assumptions for carbon content.
