Charting the Midwest

The report 'Charting the Midwest' provides a quantitative analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across eight U.S. states in the Midwest region, utilizing a consistent methodological framework to allow for direct comparison between states.

• The report is the first study to analyze all six Kyoto greenhouse gases across the entire Midwest economy using a common methodological framework, which overcomes the challenges of comparing previous state-level inventories that used differing methodologies and data sources.
• The analysis relies exclusively on data from the World Resources Institute's Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT-US), with emission estimates for sectors based on fuel consumption, such as transportation and electric generation, generally being more certain than those for agriculture and forestry.
