Less than 5,000 metric tons of carbon. P = preliminary data. Notes: Independent Power Producers and cogeneration facilities are included in industrial emissions. Data in this table are revised from the data contained in the previous EIA report, Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 1997*, DOE/EIA-0573(97) (Washington, DC, October 1998). Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Source: EIA estimates documented in this chapter and in Appendix A.
