ERG Supports EPA Release of First Year of Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program Data (January 2012)
On December 10, 2011, EPA published the first year of data from its high-profile Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). For more than three years, ERG has lent crucial technical, rulemaking, communications, and outreach support to assist EPA in reaching this milestone in its efforts to quantify U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. The GHGRP tracks greenhouse gas emissions from large sources in a wide range of industries across the United States, an effort ERG has supported from proposal of the initial Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule through rule finalization and program implementation, data collection, and publication. ERG will continue its support of the GHGRP in coming years as data collection extends to new industry sectors in 2012 and EPA continues to build and analyze its data library.
