Note(s):
Establishments who answered "Yes" to adopting new or significantly improved systems or equipment to reduce greenhouse gases during the period 2002 to 2004 are considered "innovators." Establishments who answered "no" to adopting new or significantly improved systems or equipment to reduce greenhouse gases during the period 2002 to 2004 are considered "non-innovators." This table includes reported data only. Due to changes in the methodology used to calculate the 2004 results, comparisons to 2002 results are not possible.
