2020 BLM Specialist Report on Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Trends

The "2020 BLM Specialist Report on Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Trends" provides a detailed assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends and potential climate impacts from energy development projects, specifically those that may result from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) authorized coal, oil, and gas leases and approved development on public lands managed by the BLM.  This report examines carbon emissions from authorized development of the onshore federal mineral estate in the context of the nation's carbon economy and the relationship between energy generation and climate issues by providing life-cycle estimates of fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions from that development.
