WCI Near-Term Emissions Forecast and Sector Review: 2018-2021 \\\\\\\'The End of the Trend\\\\\\\'

This report estimates Californian and Quebec emissions in specific sector and entity-level detail for 2019 and 2020, and, in the light of the recent pandemic, charts the probable pathways for these two economies back to a \\\\\\\'normal\\\\\\\' level of economic activity and therefore a \\\\\\\'normal\\\\\\\' level of carbon emissions. CaliforniaCarbon.info has combined past emissions data with company annual reports and industry-level production data, thus enabling a high degree confidence in accurately predicting the still unannounced 2019 and 2020 emissions. Beyond an economy-wide understanding, the close level of analysis gives an understanding of how each sector\\\\\\\'s emissions have been impacted by the economic changes brought by COVID-19.
