This value assumes that associated emissions from flaring and leakage – which can significantly increase the carbon footprint of natural gas – can be minimized. Furthermore, this value is representative of natural gas power plants that are not equipped with carbon capture and storage systems. ^{_35, _89, _79}

This number originates from methods used by the Environmental Defense Fund and includes additional GHG emissions related to agriculture (e.g., agricultural-related fossil fuels, electricity, fertilizer manufacturing and land use change related to agriculture) added to the 9.9% of direct agriculture emissions cited by the EPA.
