Reporting season is in full swing. You may be wrapping up your Tier II chemical inventory reports, as the deadline is just days away, but for sources emitting greenhouse gases (GHG), there is no time to catch your breath. GHG emissions reports required by 40 CFR 98 are due on March 31.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) mandatory GHG reporting program applies to selected source categories of facilities that directly emit GHGs, the most common of which are stationary combustion units, and certain GHG suppliers.
Each source category has specific regulatory requirements outlining reporting thresholds, GHGs to be reported, calculation methods, and required recordkeeping. All GHG emissions estimates must be calculated in terms of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) and submitted to the EPA using the agency’s electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT).
