Greenhouse Gas Reporting: How to Ensure You’re in Compliance with the EPA Rules
Greenhouse Gas Reporting Webinar Recording
In late 2009, the EPA issued its final rule on the mandatory reporting of greenhouse gases (GHG) – but there’s still confusion about the compliance requirements.
The largest emitters, who roughly contribute 85 percent of the total U.S. GHG emissions, are now required to collect data for final reporting to the EPA. This rule affects roughly 10,000 facilities throughout the United States. Additionally, new facilities are required to install Best Available Control Technology (BACT).
Failure to report, or incorrect reporting, may result in criminal penalties, injunctions, and civil and administrative penalties of up to $37,500 per day per violation.
This in-depth webinar is all about GHGs and effective compliance with the rules. Bring your management team along to help you piece together the best practices for tracking emissions for your organization.
You’ll learn:
- Which businesses are covered by the EPA rules
- How to comply with the reporting standard
- What the BACT requirement means for you
- The types of GHGs, and their sources
- The timelines for reporting GHGs
- What you need to know about downstream and upstream sources, and how to report them
- How to file reports electronically and gain EPA verification of your emissions data
- The ways the mandatory reporting rule overlaps with your state and local reporting obligations
- Tips for formulating a strategic GHG reduction plan
- Best practices for reducing GHGs
