aEstimates of additional carbon dioxide emissions from the use of limestone and soda ash in flue gas desulfurization are included in Table 12.
P = preliminary data.
Notes: Includes energy from petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Electric utility emissions are distributed across consumption sectors. 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.
