Dataset of 2012-2020 U.S. National- and State-Level Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector.

ABSTRACT

The dataset contains ∼1.1 million records of total greenhouse gases directly emitted annually by economic sectors and households in the US from 2012-2020. Data are given for 16 unique greenhouse gases by 118 aggregate sectors for each state, and as totals by these aggregate sectors as well as by 540 detailed sectors at the national level. The dataset is a product of updated sector attribution models that improve upon the National Greenhouse Gas Industry Attribution Model. This paper provides documentation of the methods used to produce these datasets and proof of validation of the dataset, along with relevant supporting tables, figures, and source code.
