Projected Emissions
The method of projecting emissions from industrial processes differed based on the process, and were
conducted as recommended by the SIT. In general, trends from the period 1990-2013 (with a focus in
some instances on the years following the recession) were used to project emissions for 2014-2030. In
some cases, different and/or alternative approaches were adopted and compared. Figure 6-3 illustrates
historical and projected GHG emissions for the industrial process sector; the dashed vertical line marks
the end of historical emissions and the beginning of the projections. The first thing that might be
