Background
On December 6, 2007, pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, the Air Resources Board (ARB) approved the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions regulation. The regulation requires the mandatory reporting and verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Facilities subject to mandatory reporting are required to have their greenhouse gas emissions verified beginning in 2010, for their 2009 reported emissions. Facilities will be subject to either annual or triennial verification. Only the following ARB accredited verification bodies and verifiers may provide verification services for the purposes of mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reporting.
Revisions to the Regulation for Mandatory Reporting of GHG Emissions
The proposed revised regulation and staff report are available now, including supporting documentation. ARB staff is proposing revisions to the California GHG reporting regulation to support a greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program and to harmonize with the U.S. EPA greenhouse gas reporting requirements. The revisions will be considered by the Board on December 16, 2010. Details about the meeting and for submitting comments are available at the regulatory website for this item.
