Non-CO2 Mitigation

Greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide (non-CO2 gases) play an important role in efforts to address global climate change due to their high global warming potentials and the availability of cost-effective emission reduction opportunities. Non-CO2 greenhouse gases are a significant contributor to climate change. Approximately 30% of the human-induced greenhouse effect can be attributed to the non-CO2 greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential in U.S. Forestry and Agriculture

EPA collects data on international historical and projected greenhouse gas emissions and estimates the costs of reducing these emissions, and has issued several analytical reports on international emissions projections and mitigation opportunities for the non-CO2 greenhouse gases. EPA is currently addressing these key analytical issues in the following areas:
