Statewide Greenhouse Gas Report

Pursuant to Section 75-0105 of the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) hereby gives notice of the following:

NYS DEC has issued the 2024 NYS Statewide Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Report. This report describes statewide greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in tons of carbon dioxide equivalents from all greenhouse gas emissions sources in the state, including the relative contribution of each type of greenhouse gas and each type of source to the statewide total, per the requirements of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA).

The report does not impose compliance obligations or propose emissions mitigation strategies. As required by the Climate Act, NYS DEC held public hearings in 2021 to seek public input regarding the methodology and analysis used in this annual report.

The 2024 report follows the CLCPA accounting and provides an updated assessment of emissions from 1990-2022.
