This 2016 report covers the period from 1990 to 2030, covering historical and current emissions
inventories from 1990 to 2013 and future emissions projected to 2030. The report is organized into
sections covering each of the following sectors that produce GHGs:
• Electricity Generation;
•
Transportation;
• Residential, Commercial, and Industrial (stationary emissions from fossil-fuel burning only);
•
Industrial Processes (i.e., all non-energy related activities);
•
Waste Management;
•
•
Agriculture (all non-energy related activities);
Fossil-Fuel Industry (e.g., coal and natural gas production and distribution); and
• Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (Forestry).
The presence (or absence) of specific activities in a sector largely determines the type of GHGs emitted.
Table 1-2 summarizes the types of GHG emissions that each sector is expected to release in Nevada; a
filled box in the table indicates that the specific GHG is emitted in that sector.
