1. Processing, Packaging, Distribution, and Marketing Emissions

In 2006, the food processing sector emitted approximately 117 MMT CO2 eq., making it one of only four industrial sectors in the United States responsible for more than 100 MMT CO2 annually.22 Mitigation within the food processing sector will largely depend on reducing energy intensity in addition to other cross-sector efforts, such as reducing reliance on fossil fuel energy sources. As a result, EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy should explore adopting more energy efficiency standards that would apply to appliances and processes within this sector.

  15. We cannot implement effective policies to reduce agricultural emissions without an accurate understanding of the primary constituencies.
  16. At first glance, reducing net agricultural greenhouse gas emissions through public law poses a considerable challenge.
  17. Methane and nitrous oxide are the two main greenhouse gases emitted by agricultural sources. EPA has several direct regulatory tools available to reduce emissions of these greenhouse gases, including recognizing the harm or “endangerment” caused by these pollutants and promulgating regulatory programs to require or support their reduction.
