About This Dataset

This economic trend represents the carbon emissions coefficient, which is a factor that converts industrial LPG consumption data into an estimate of the resulting carbon dioxide emissions. It is used to assess the environmental impact of industrial energy use and inform energy and climate policies.

Methodology

The data is calculated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency using established emissions factors and industrial LPG consumption data.

Historical Context

This trend is relevant for understanding the carbon footprint of Hawaii's industrial sector and supporting policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Key Facts

  • Hawaii's industrial sector accounts for 13% of the state's total carbon emissions.
  • LPG is the primary fuel source for 20% of Hawaii's industrial facilities.
  • The emissions coefficient has decreased by 7% over the past decade.
