INVENTORY AND PROJECTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (2000 - 2025)
This report sets forth an inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the Commonwealth of
Virginia for the period 2000 to 2005 based on energy consumption and other activities within the
state and projects the same through 2025. It is anticipated that this inventory will facilitate the
work of the Governor’s Climate Change Commission to identify the actions necessary to meet the
goal of reducing GHG emissions by 30 percent by 2025 as set forth in the Virginia Energy Plan
and Executive Order 59.
This GHG inventory is developed using the State Greenhouse Gas Inventory Tool (SIT) created
by ICF International (ICF) for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) within
EPA’s Emission Inventory Improvement Program (EIIP) under the State and Local Climate
Change agenda. The report covers the period between 2000 and 2025. For 2005 and earlier,
emissions are estimated based on available data. For subsequent period, emissions are
projected. For projecting future emissions, the trends set by the historical and other available
information, population growth and known developmental plans of the state were taken into
account.
