Updated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for Connecticut

Acadia Center analyzed new data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Connecticut to develop an updated emissions inventory for the 1990 to 2015 time period. The analysis also looked at possible drivers of recent emissions increases, including fuel prices, economic activity, and policy developments. The updated emissions inventory is intended to help inform and guide both the 2016 Comprehensive Energy Strategy proceeding and the ongoing deliberations of the Governor’s Council on Climate Change.
