The business-as-usual (BAU) projections cited in the addendum are somewhat higher than a “Policies and Measures” case developed by the EPA for the U.S. Climate Action Report 2002

EIA adjusted the EPA no-measures case projections to extrapolate from the most recent 2002-to-2004 data on these gases as published by EIA, as well as to estimate the intervening years of the projections, because the projections were provided only for every 5 years, beginning in 2005 and ending in 2020.
