GHG Reporting Background Any facility (manufacturer, institution, business, etc.) that emits: 25,000 metric tons or more of CO2 equivalent per year Example Stationary fuel combustion sources are devices that combust solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel, generally for the purposes of producing electricity, generating steam, or providing useful heat or energy for industrial, commercial, or institutional use, or reducing the volume of waste by removing combustible matter. (Subpart C General Stationary Fuel Combustion Sources)
GHG Reporting Background Timing of Initial Report Must report by March 31, 2011 for CY2010 Annual reports are required every March 31 thereafter. (Though most data will be collected at the facility level, in some cases the rule provides for reporting at the corporate level) Compliance is mandatory and EPA will have the power to charge penalties
GHG Reporting Background Beginning in January 2010, the following sources will be required to collect GHG emissions data for annual reporting (not inclusive): Electricity Generation Steam Generation Aluminum Production Ammonia Manufacturing Petrochemical Production Petroleum Refineries
GHG Reporting Background Requirements: GHG Emissions that must be reported annually: Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) Methane Gas (CH 4 ) Nitrous Oxide (N 2 0) Hydro fluorocarbons (HFC) Includes perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) A facility must demonstrate emissions below 25,000 metric tons for five years or 15,000 metric tons for three years in order to stop reporting.
