The Environmental Protection Agency provides detailed data on sites that release green house gases (GHG), available for the entire US and for individual states, found at: http://epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/ghgdata/
“Thanks to strong collaboration and feedback from industry, states and other organizations, today we have a transparent, powerful data resource available to the public,” said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “The GHG Reporting Program data provides a critical tool for businesses and other innovators to find cost- and fuel-saving efficiencies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and foster technologies to protect public health and the environment.”
The GHG data tool can be found at: http://epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/ghgdata/. Clicking on the map on that page will call up a site with the data. A pull down list will allow the user to choose the state of interest. After the state is chosen the emission range can be chosen (the default is 0 to 23 million MT). Clicking “apply” will provide a list of individual plants that fall within the chosen range. The user can also narrow the list by selecting industry type and gas type.
