How can I compare GHG emissions from different industries?

This page provides step-by-step instructions for comparing GHG emissions from different industrial sectors and also describes how to drill down into the data to compare subsectors within an industry.

Step 1. Go to FLIGHT

When you first enter the Facility Level Information on Greenhouse Gases Tool (FLIGHT), you will be presented with two search options:

1. View all U.S. Facility Data by map
2. View Facilities in your State

Step 2. Select national search option

Click the box at the left of the popup window to View all U.S. Facility Data.

Step 3. Compare industrial sectors in a pie chart

Click the "Pie Chart" button above the map in the top right corner to display a pie chart comparing the percent contribution of each industrial sector to total reported emissions in the U.S.

This button will display a breakdown of each sector by GHG emission, as a percent of total emissions. Users can hover over each section for more information, and click each slice of the pie for more detailed information. 

Step 4. Compare subsectors within an industry in a pie chart

Click on a sector pie slice to drill down and compare the underlying subsectors within that sector. 

Step 5. Compare facilities within a subsector in a pie chart

Click on a subsector pie slice to drill down and compare the underlying facilities within that subsector.

Step 6. View details for a facility

Click on a facility pie slice to view details for a specific facility.

The facility details provided include the facility name, location, FRS ID, NAICS code, total emissions, emissions by gas, emissions by source/process, emissions by year (trend graph), and additional information reported by the facility.
