A PennEnvironment study issued Tuesday shows that Pennsylvania's greenhouse gas output is highly concentrated.
The Cheswick Generating Station, a coal-fired power plant in Springdale, Pa. is shown in this 2021 photo.Twelve facilities in Pennsylvania – mostly power plants - produce roughly one-fifth of all the commonwealth’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to an analysis of federal data by PennEnvironment released Tuesday.
PennEnvironment, an environmental research and advocacy group, complied its analysis by pulling data from the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s facility-level reports. Natural gas produces fewer greenhouse gases than coal- or diesel-fired power plants, and has been promoted in the past as a “bridge” source of electricity to replace dirtier power plants until more zero-output renewables, like wind and solar, come online., Pennsylvania power generation emitted the equivalent of 80 million metric tons of carbon dioxide; as of 2020, that had dropped to 73 million metric tons, as part of a pandemic-era slow-down seen across all emission sources.
