Abstract:
The Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) released its Tenth Biennial Report on Progress Toward Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals in June 2024, which provides a comprehensive analysis of Maine’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by fuel source and economic sector.
This report includes an estimate of both gross anthropogenic GHG emissions (i.e., emissions from human activity) and net GHG emissions (i.e., a carbon budget). The net GHG emissions inventory includes gross GHG emissions to the atmosphere (reported in carbon dioxide equivalents) and carbon sequestered by the environment.
