KEY: CO2 = carbon dioxide; R = revised.
1Emissions from electricity generation are allocated to each economic end-use sector on the basis of each sector's share of aggregate electricity consumption. This method assumes each sector consumes electricity that is generated from the national average mix of fuels according to their carbon intensity.
2 Industry includes manufacturing, construction, and mining. Six manufacturing industries--petroleum refinieries, chemicals, primary metals, paper, food, and nonmetallic mineral products--represent the vast majority of energy use and thus GHG emissions in the industrial sector.
3Includes emissions from military aircraft (11.0 million metric tonnes in 2013) and "other" transportation, primarily lubricants (8.8 million metric tonnes in 2013). Emissions from international bunker fuels are not included.
4Electricity-related emissions were not distributed to U.S. Territories.
