EPA Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases Application Workbook

This workbook was designed by the National Center for Environmental Economics (NCEE) at the US EPA to help analysts calculate the monetized net social benefits of future reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emmissions (or the net social costs of increases in GHG emissions) using the estimates of the social cost of carbon (SC-CO2), social cost of methane (SC=CH4) and Social cost of nitrous oxide (SC-N2)) (collectively referred to as the Social COst of Greenhouse Hasses (SC-GHG) described in USEPA (2023). All files related to the development of these estimates are also included in this deposit. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=https://www.epa.gov/environmental-economics/scghg"&gt;href=https://www.epa.gov/environmental-economics/scghg&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;(Washington, December 2, 2023) -- In the regulatory impact analysis of EPA’s December 2023 Final Rulemaking, “Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review,” EPA estimated climate benefits using a new set of Social Cost of Greenhouse Gas (SC-GHG) estimates. These estimates incorporate recent research addressing recommendations of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (2017), responses to public comments on an earlier sensitivity analysis using draft SC-GHG estimates included in the December 2022 supplemental proposed rulemaking, and comments from a 2023 external peer review of the accompanying technical report.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;The final technical report, “Report on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases: Estimates Incorporating Recent Scientific Advances,” explains the methodology underlying the new set of SC-GHG estimates and is included in the docket for the final Oil and Gas rule (HQ-OAR-2021-0317). EPA also conducted an external peer review of the report.&lt;/blockquote&gt;本工作簿由美国环境保护署（U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, US EPA）下属的国家环境经济中心（National Center for Environmental Economics, NCEE）开发，旨在助力分析人员基于碳社会成本（social cost of carbon, SC-CO₂）、甲烷社会成本（social cost of methane, SC-CH₄）及一氧化二氮社会成本（social cost of nitrous oxide, SC-N₂O）的估算值，计算未来温室气体（greenhouse gas, GHG）减排所带来的货币化社会净收益（或温室气体排放增加对应的社会净成本）。上述三项成本合称为温室气体社会成本（Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases, SC-GHG），相关估算依据美国环境保护署2023年发布的对应标准（原文此处存在笔误，原写为Greenhouse Hasses）。本存档包中同时收录了与这些估算值开发相关的全部文件。<br /> <a href="https://www.epa.gov/environmental-economics/scghg">https://www.epa.gov/environmental-economics/scghg</a><br /> <blockquote>(华盛顿，2023年12月2日) —— 在EPA2023年12月发布的最终规则《新建、改建及改造源性能标准与现有源排放指南：石油和天然气行业气候审查》的监管影响分析中，EPA采用全新一套温室气体社会成本（SC-GHG）估算值测算气候效益。该套估算值整合了三方面内容：一是针对美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院（2017）提出的建议开展的最新研究；二是对2022年12月补充拟议规则中附带的SC-GHG估算草案开展敏感性分析时收到的公众意见的回应；三是2023年对配套技术报告进行外部同行评审后收到的相关意见。</blockquote> <blockquote>最终技术报告《温室气体社会成本：整合近期科学进展的估算值》阐释了这套全新SC-GHG估算值背后的方法论，该报告已收录于最终版石油和天然气规则（HQ-OAR-2021-0317）的案卷中。美国环境保护署同时对该报告开展了外部同行评审。</blockquote>

背景概述

该数据集是美国环境保护署（EPA）国家环境经济中心（NCEE）于2025年发布的一个应用工作簿，旨在帮助分析师基于温室气体（包括二氧化碳、甲烷和一氧化二氮）的社会成本估算，量化未来温室气体排放变化带来的货币化净社会效益或成本。数据集包含电子表格工具、技术报告和模型复制文件，覆盖2020年至2080年的时间范围，适用于环境经济学和政策评估领域的研究与应用。
