TABLE OF CONTENTS
Upfront (65 KB PDF) – includes acknowledgments, full table of contents, and a list of tables and figures.
Executive Summary (156 KB PDF) – provides a broad overview of all U.S. greenhouse gas emission sources and sinks, introduces key concepts, and discusses the primary drivers for the growth in emissions. All material in the Executive Summary is drawn from the following chapters.
Introduction (172 KB PDF) – includes an overview of trends, an introduction to climate change, a discussion of methodological issues and uncertainties associated with estimates, and an overview of changes in this year's report – including historical data, methodology and other changes relative to the 1990-1997 report.
Energy (231 KB PDF) – discusses and quantifies energy related emissions of all greenhouse gases resulting from stationary and mobile source activities including fuel combustion and fugitive fuel emissions.
Industrial Processes (203 KB PDF) – addresses by-product or fugitive emissions from industrial processes not directly related to energy activities.
Solvent Use (32 KB PDF) – addresses emissions resulting from the use of solvents, primarily non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs).
Agriculture (349 KB PDF) – addresses anthropogenic emissions from agricultural activities (not including fuel combustion and sewage emissions, which are addressed, respectively, in the Energy and Waste chapters).
Land-Use Change & Forestry (86 KB PDF) – addresses emissions and removals from forest and land-use change activities, primarily carbon dioxide.
Waste (85 KB PDF) – addresses emissions from waste management activities.
