Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Emission Factors for US Industries 2010-2016

Emission factors and data quality scores for US commodities and industries, calculated from USEEIO models at detail and summary categorization levels. The dataset provides annual data from 2010 through 2016, produced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency using the useeior v1.0.1 model.

Use Cases

• Calculate Scope 3 emissions for specific US industries using the provided supply chain emission factors.
• Analyze trends in emission factor data quality scores across different commodity categories from 2010 to 2016.
• Compare margin emission factors between detail-level and summary-level industry categorizations.
• Model life cycle GHG emissions for US economic sectors using the published USEEIO model factors.

Strengths

• Data covers a 7-year time range from 2010 to 2016.
• Provides emission factors at two levels of categorization: detail and summary.
• Includes associated data quality scores for the calculated emission factors.
• Produced by the authoritative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency using a published methodology (useeior v1.0.1).

Limitations

• The dataset is temporally stale, with the latest year of data being 2016.
• Specific data volume metrics like row and column counts are unknown.
• Data is provided only in XLS format, which may limit programmatic access.
