1 Federal GHG Reporting: Tools, Tools, Everywhere Jeremey Alcorn and Virginia Bostock LMI Energy and Climate Consultants NDIA Environment, Energy and Sustainability Symposium May 12, 2011
2 Bottom Line Up Front Federal GHG reporting is required at both agency and, in some cases, facility levels Growing need to ensure that agency tools consistently utilize E.O conformant boundaries, methods, emissions factors, and outputs Challenging with inconsistent protocols, rules, and approaches with separate ad hoc tools Expanding number of tools emerging to help you Opportunities exist to better plan, manage, and use tools that meet multiple requirements 2
3 Agenda GHG Drivers and CEQ Guidance FEMP Tools and Resources Tool Categories and Functions Enterprise Tools HQ Tools Facility Tools Category / Source Tools Other Key Questions to Ask About a Tool Opportunities Questions? 3
4 Federal GHG Inventory Exploration and Tools Federal agencies proactively undertook efforts to understand GHG emission inventory frameworks and calculation methods over the last five-years Experience provided the foundation for developing U.S. Public Sector Protocol (PSP) and the later E.O Section 9 Guidance Several GHG inventory tools are tailored to and support specific agencies efforts, such as: EPA Climate Leader GHG Inventory Summary Tool NASA GHG Reporting Tool Climate Leadership In Parks (CLIP) 4
5 Federal GHG Reporting Requirements EPA s Mandatory Reporting Rule (MRR) Requires GHG accounting for large sources (>25,000 MT) Some Federal facilities required to report under MRR Federal air quality managers have been working this compliance reporting issue with impacted facilities Executive Order (E.O.) Mandates Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan Mandates to GHG reduction goals and reporting All federal departments and agencies included FY08 and FY10 Federal GHG inventories were due January 31 st, 2011
6 Federal GHG Reduction Goals On January 29, 2010, President Obama announced that the Federal Government will reduce its GHG emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 28% by 2020 On July 20, 2010, the White House released Federal indirect GHG emissions (Scope 3) reduction goal of 13% by 2020 for Federal agencies 6
7 E.O GHG Guidance, TSD, and Reporting Spring 2010 Section 9 of the E.O. required an interagency group to develop GHG reporting guidance recommendations October 6, 2010 Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) released the Section 9 Guidance and Technical Support Document (TSD) Guidance provides the overall GHG reporting framework and process TSD elaborates the accepted calculation methodologies, factors, etc. October 6, 2010 Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) released the GHG and Sustainability Reporting Portal January 31, 2011 Agencies submitted their FY08 and FY10 inventories via the FEMP GHG and Sustainability Reporting Portal
8 Federal Energy-GHG Tools Status Quo Federal agencies report at the Agency level and must use the FEMP GHG Reporting Portal to submit their GHG inventories Many agencies use other GHG inventory tools to assist with: Data entry and mapping with existing systems Emission category calculations Data and results aggregation Management and analysis Reduction planning Existing tools likely to have a role in supporting future Federal agency energy and GHG management efforts However, expedience and good practice are separate things 8
9 Sample of Examples Tools Everywhere Indeed! GSA Carbon Footprint Tool EPA Climate Leaders EPA Mandatory Reporting Rule e-ggrt System (pending) EPA ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (buildings only) NPS / EPA Climate Leadership in Parks (CLIP) The Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) Calculator EPA LandGEM EPA Waste Reduction Model Material Life Cycle (WARM) World Resources Institute modules Campus Climate Action Toolkit (CCAT) (CCAP) Transportation Emissions NASA Excel workbook tools Sandia National Lab workbook The Center for Clean Air Policy Numerous Commercial-Off-the Shelf (COTS) tools 9
10 Where to Start? (1) Things to Ponder- Determine your needs and requirements What was this tool designed for? Does this tool consistently utilize: Protocols (Sec. 9, MRR, Title V)? Conformant boundaries? Calculation methods? What should I be considering? Emissions factors? If not, does its architecture credibly address the challenges associated with the differences? Does it fit with your existing data call process? Can it roll-up to the appropriate reporting level? 10
11 Where to Start? (2) Can it be ported into / out of other systems? What are the initial and operating costs and benefits? You may want to do a study caveat emptor! How comprehensive is the tool s help desk support? Are back-end reports available and can they be customized to answer the questions you want? How popular is the tool is it being continually updated and upgraded as necessary? How do I start? Prioritize what you want your tool to do and use that to guide your selection. 11
12 So What Tool to Use? Determine your needs and requirements What reporting activity requires the most staff time or expense? What is your biggest reporting risk? Look at the categories of tools Enterprise Energy and GHG Information Systems Headquarter-level or Top-down Facility-level or Bottom-up Emission Category / Source Match your needs with type and functionality 12
13 Enterprise Energy and GHG Mgmt Info Systems Characteristic functionality should include: Decentralized data entry Calculation aids Aggregation at multiple levels Analysis at multiple levels and QA/QC Federal examples may include: EPA ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (buildings only and limited for GHGs) GSA Carbon Footprint Tool (into the future?) Commercial examples abound 13
14 Headquarter-level or Top-down Tools Capabilities may include: Decentralized data entry Calculation aids Data aggregation at HQ level Analysis at HQ level and/or QA/QC Federal examples may include: NASA NETS w/ghg Tool EPA Climate Leaders Simplified GHG Emissions Calculator U.S. Air Force Air Program Information Management System (APIMS) 14
15 Facility-level and Bottom-up Functional capabilities for site specific Granular data entry Calculation and/or Building and emission source management Federal examples may include: GSA Carbon Footprint Tool NASA GSFC GHG Inventory Tool NPS Climate Leadership in Parks (CLIP) Tool EPA Mandatory Reporting Rule Reporting Tool Bottom-up Inventory 15
16 Emission Category and Source Tools Standalone applications designed for a specific purpose Typically include detailed data entry, calculations, and/or analysis options Federal examples may include: GSA Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST) GSA Travel MIS EPA LandGEM 16
17 Opportunity for Streamlining Multiple Reporting Identify low hanging fruit for streamlining data collection, aggregation, and analysis in reporting Examine opportunities to use tools to integrate and streamline reporting requirements for: FEMP Energy and GHG reporting Air quality (e.g., Title V) Other GHG requirements (e.g., EPA MRR) Contribute to better sustainability and operations management Do not let perfect be the enemy of the good! Work with your IT enterprise to develop a workable plan 17
