In 2015, the last year for which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published comprehensive inventory numbers, energy - related CO2 emissions accounted for 77 % of gross US GHG emissions, with the remainder coming from direct CO2 emitted in industrial processes as well emissions of methane, nitrous oxide, and other greenhouse gasses.

The trouble is that regulators are ill - placed to tell the difference, which will only be clear decades after the presumed emissions have been tallied — or not — in national carbon inventories.
