What is Subpart W?
What is Subpart W?
Subpart W consists of emission sources in ten segments of the petroleum and natural gas industry. Basic Information – Information about emissions from the oil and natural gas industry.
What is the EPA’s CFR rule regarding reporting requirements for petroleum and natural gas industries?
§ 98.231 Reporting threshold. (1) Facilities must report emissions from the onshore petroleum and natural gas production industry segment only if emission sources specified in § 98.232(c) emit 25,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent or more per year.
What states require GHG reporting?
The states that now have mandatory GHG emission reporting requirements include: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Vermont.
What is the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program?
EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) tracks facility-level emissions from the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.
How do you calculate GHG from diesel?
1 liter of diesel weighs 835 grammes. Diesel consist for 86,2% of carbon, or 720 grammes of carbon per liter diesel. In order to combust this carbon to CO2, 1920 grammes of oxygen is needed. The sum is then 720 + 1920 = 2640 grammes of CO2/liter diesel.
Is GHG reporting mandatory?
Since 2009, the United States has required facilities emitting at least 25,000 metric tons or more of carbon dioxide to report their greenhouse gas emissions to the Environmental Protection Agency every year.
Do companies have to report GHG emissions?
Mandatory GHG reporting by quoted companies From 1 October 2013, the directors of a quoted company must report the company’s annual GHG emissions in the directors’ report.
Why is reporting GHG important?
GHG reporting is an opportunity for businesses to be transparent. Complete and accurate GHG emissions disclosures provide greater clarity to investors. This enables better decision making and helps to guide capital towards companies that are consciously addressing their impact on climate change.
How do you calculate GHG?
Use this method for the calculation: Max. controlled mass emissions [tons/year] = Maximum Controlled Mass Emissions (tons/year) x (100 – Pollution control efficiency) ÷ 100.
How do you calculate fuel emissions?
The simplest way to calculate tailpipe emissions of CO2 is to measure fuel consumption. Just add your fuel bills each period to see how much CO2 you have produced. Burning a litre of diesel produces around 2.62 kgs of carbon dioxide, whereas petrol has a lower carbon content and produces about 2.39 kgs.
Do companies have to report Scope 1 and 2 emissions?
According to the GHG Corporate Protocol, all organizations should quantify scope 1 and 2 emissions when reporting and disclosing GHG emissions, while scope 3 emissions quantification is not required. However, more organizations are reaching into their value chain to understand the full GHG impact of their operations.
What are the legal requirements for energy reporting?
Quoted and unquoted companies and LLPs all need to report energy use, GHG emissions and at least one emissions intensity metric for the current and previous financial years. The relevant report must include a narrative description of measures taken to improve the businesses’ energy efficiency in that year.
How do you calculate GHG emissions from kWh?
The emission factor-based methodology estimates GHG emissions by multiplying a level of activity data (e.g., kWh of electricity consumed by a facility) by an emission factor (e.g., grams of CO2 per kWh).
What is the difference between Scope 1 and 2 emissions?
Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by the reporting company.
