Iowa Final Report
DOE Reporting

     The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the development and maintenance of a GHG database (DOE, 1992). DOE provides a method for local forms of government (i.e., conservation districts) to report sources and/or sinks of GHGs, and the local Conservation Districts in Iowa agreed to report the amounts of C sequestrated by the installation of agricultural conservation practices to DOE. Voluntary reporting of GHGs using the DOE Energy Information Administration EIA, 1605(b) process allows conservation districts to report the benefits of applying conservation practices in 1998.

     The calculated C sequestered, or the CO2 being removed from the atmosphere, is shown in Table 8. These values are based on the entire analysis described, using the best available data and the local knowledge of land managers. This is the data that each conservation district reports using 1605(b). This data is available on the attached CD-ROM. Both SI and English units are shown to help convey the results to the conservation partnership in Iowa.
