Stakeholder Workshop Presentations: Natural Gas in the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks
On September 13–14, 2012, EPA held a stakeholder workshop on key aspects of the estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from the natural gas sector in the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks. View the workshop summary and individual presentations below.
