7.3.2 Projected Emissions
Emissions from wastewater treatment were projected by forecasting the linear trend from the 1990 to
2013 historical period, as recommended by the SIT. Emissions from the treatment of wastewater are
predicted to account for less than 20 percent of total waste management emissions without any
significant change in their contribution for the period 2014 to 2030. Figure 7-4 shows the historical and
projected wastewater treatment emissions; the vertical dashed line marks the end of the historical
emissions and the beginning of the projections.
