Federal Greenhouse Gas Inventories and Performance

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) provides progress data tables illustrating Federal agency progress in meeting the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets established under Executive Order (E.O.) 13514, as well as the comprehensive greenhouse gas inventories as reported by the Federal agencies: Federal Agency Progress Toward Reduction TargetsMicrosoft Excel: View overall government and Federal agency reductions in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and indirect Scope 3 GHG emissions categories. Federal Agency Comprehensive GHG Inventories, Fiscal Year (FY) 2012. Includes all greenhouse gas emissions as reported by Federal agencies, including emissions from sources not subject to the reduction targets. Federal Agency Comprehensive GHG Inventories, FY 2011 - Federal Agency Comprehensive GHG Inventories, FY 2010 - Federal Agency Comprehensive GHG Inventories, FY 2008 Fiscal year (FY) 2009 inventories are not available because FY 2010 was the first year agencies were required to report under E.O. 13514. FY 2008 base year inventories were also reported at that time. Federal GHG Requirements Overview E.O. 13514 required Federal agencies to set individual targets for reduction of combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions in FY 2020 compared to FY 2008. When all agency targets are combined, the overall target for the entire Federal Government is a 28% reduction in FY 2020 compared to FY 2008. GHG emissions from certain types of activities are not subject to the reduction targets, including emissions from generation of electric power sold to others and from fuels used in excluded vehicles and equipment (such as tactical, combat support, law enforcement, emergency response, and spaceflight operations). Similarly, separate targets were established for indirect Scope 3 GHG emissions with a combined Federal Government target of a 13% reduction in FY 2020 compared to FY 2008.
