• Have increased fairly steadily for 40 years
• Decreased during late 80s and early 90s
• Gasoline combustion has increased 20 since 1990
• 20 of sectors emissions are now from diesel

COLLATERAL BENEFITS

• The 19,930,000 tons of avoided CO2 emissions over
  5 years from NJDEP - GHG Action Plan EE RE
  reduction strategies across all sectors could
  also obtain
• 67,819 tons of SO2 reductions
• 51,857 tons of NOx reductions
• 7,157 tons of VOC reductions
• 0.5 tons of mercury reductions
