CPRG - v2.0.0 (February 2025)

This release incorporates major changes to all sectors, including temporal data back to 2005 and fundamental changes in methodology. We also now account for industrial and agricultural emissions.

• Energy
  • Electricity and natural gas data have utility report data for 2005 and 2013-2021
  • Electricity and natural gas data are split into residential, commercial, and industrial per NREL modeling for all years
  • Electricity and natural gas are now categories in the sectors residential, commercial, and industrial
• Transportation
  • Transportation emissions are calculated using a different method; in previous versions, we used a 100/50/50 origin-destination method. Now we are using a VMT-based method.
  • Emissions estimates from previous releases should not be directly compared with this and all future releases.
  • Transportation emissions are compiled from EPA data sources, including the National Emissions Inventory (NEI), EPA EQUATES, and the Air Emissions Modeling Platform.
  • Bus, passenger, and commercial modes are accounted for.
  • Preliminary aviation emissions accounted for.
• Waste
  • Solid waste now follows IPCC guidelines instead of previous simplistic activity-EF model
  • Solid waste emissions are apportioned to CTU by population
  • Wastewater is now calculated based off county and CTU population, instead of apportioned from state totals
• Industrial
  • New sector, partially informed by previous energy work
  • New emissions data from state and federal point source data includes process emissions and additional fuel combustion
• Agriculture
  • New sector detailing emissions from livestock and crop production
  • Data sources are USDA county agriculture censuses and EPA emission factors
• Natural Systems
  • Sequestration now relies entirely on USGS NLCD model (WorldCover data removed for now)
  • Adds freshwater emissions data following National Hydrography Database and state emission factors
• Other data
  • County and CTU population data back to 2005.
