Non-Residential Fuel Usage<br />

Usage for this sector was taken directly from ConEd figures (for natural gas) and was<br />

estimated based on NYSERDA’s calculations regarding statewide commercial and industrial<br />

fuel usage (for other fuels). The sector used approximately 138,000,000 therms of natural<br />

gas and 77,000,000 gallons of light fuel oil. While these were the main emissions sources,<br />

16,000,000 barrels of heavy fuel oil and 2,000,000 gallons of kerosene were also used.<br />

Transportation<br />

As noted in the first graph, transportation accounted for the largest part of the county’s<br />

emissions at approximately 38 percent of the total. Approximately 407,000,000 gallons of<br />

gasoline were used, producing nearly 4.4 million tons of CO 2 e. Gasoline usage alone is<br />

responsible for about 33 percent of all emissions in the county. Diesel fuel usage was<br />

34,000,000 gallons.<br />
