Summary Information for this Supplier

Subpart PP requires you to report the following data about your facility or company:

• The classification that describes your facility (or company in case of importers and exporters)
• The calculation methodology used to estimate quantities of CO₂

Product and Equipment Information

Subpart PP requires capture and extract facilities to report the following information at the facility level; importers and exporters must report the information at the corporate level:

• The type of equipment used to measure CO₂ and the standard used to operate and calibrate the equipment
• The aggregated annual quantity of CO₂ transferred to each of the following end-use categories, if known (for importers and exporters this must be reported for imports into and exports out of California):
  • Food and beverage
  • Industrial and municipal water/wastewater treatment
  • Metal fabrication, including welding and cutting
  • Greenhouse uses for plant growth
  • Fumigants (e.g., grain storage) and herbicides
  • Pulp and paper
  • Cleaning and solvent use
  • Fire fighting
  • Transportation and storage of explosives
  • Enhanced oil and natural gas recovery
  • Long-term storage (sequestration) within California
  • Research and development
  • Other
  • Unknown
• The aggregated annual quantity of CO₂ your facility imported into California and exported out of California:
  • CO₂ imported into California (metric tons)
  • CO₂ exported from California for purposes other than geologic sequestration
  • CO₂ exported from California for the purpose of geologic sequestration
• The number of days in the reporting year for which substitute data procedures were used to measure the following:
  • CO₂ mass or volume
  • CO₂ concentration
  • CO₂ stream density

Supply Information

Capture facilities, extract facilities, importers, and exporters that use flow meters (regardless of segregation) must report the following information at the facility or corporate level:

• Annual mass of CO₂ for each flow meter (in metric tons)

Cal e-GGRT will calculate this value based on inputs you provide for each individual flow meter. The following information is required for each individual flow meter:

• If a mass flow meter is used to report CO₂ supply:
  • A unique flow meter name or ID
  • Quarterly mass of each CO₂ stream (in metric tons)
  • Quarterly concentration of each CO₂ stream (in weight percent CO₂) and the standard used to measure it
  • The location of the mass flow meter in the process chain
  • The percentage of the CO₂ stream that is biomass-based
• If a volumetric flow meter is used to report CO₂ supply:
  • A unique flow meter name or ID
  • Quarterly volume of each CO₂ stream (in standard cubic meters)
  • Quarterly CO₂ concentration of each CO₂ stream (in weight or volume percent CO₂) and the standard used to measure it
  • Quarterly density (in metric tons per standard cubic meter)
    • if the CO₂ concentration is measured in weight percent, provide the quarterly density of the CO₂ stream and the standard used to measure it
    • if the CO₂ concentration is measured in volume percent, the quarterly density of CO₂ required by the rule will be displayed
  • The location of the volumetric flow meter in the process chain

Capture and extract facilities that supply CO₂ in containers must report the following information at the facility level:

• Annual mass of CO₂ for each CO₂ stream supplying containers (in metric tons)

Cal e-GGRT will calculate this value based on inputs you provide for each individual CO₂ stream. The following information is required for each individual CO₂ stream supplied to containers:

• If mass is used to report CO₂ supply:
  • A unique CO2 stream name or ID
  • Quarterly mass of each CO₂ stream (in metric tons)
  • Quarterly concentration of each CO₂ stream (in weight percent CO₂) and the standard used to measure it
• If volume is used to report CO₂ supply:
  • A unique CO₂ stream name or ID
  • Quarterly volume of each CO₂ stream (in standard cubic meters)
  • Quarterly CO₂ concentration of each CO₂ stream (in weight or volume percent CO₂) and the standard used to measure it
  • Quarterly density (in metric tons per standard cubic meter)
    • if the CO₂ concentration is measured in volume percent, provide the quarterly density of the CO₂ stream and the standard used to measure it
    • if the CO₂ concentration is measured in weight percent, the quarterly density of CO₂ required by the rule will be displayed

Importers and exporters that supply CO₂ in containers must report the following information at the corporate level:

• Annual mass of CO₂ in all containers imported (in metric tons)
• Annual mass of CO₂ in all containers exported (in metric tons)

Validation Report

You can use the Validation Report to ensure the completeness and quality of your reporting data.

You should use the Validation Report to check your work. The Validation Report performs two types of checks:

• Data Completeness: Data that are required for reporting is missing or incomplete.
• Data Quality: Data are outside of the expected range of values.

You may view the Validation Report at any time.

Note that the Validation Report is intended to assist users in entering data, but it is not an indication that the reporter has entered all necessary information, nor is it an indication that the reporter is in compliance with 40 CFR Part 98. Furthermore a negative finding on the validation report is not a guarantee that a data element was entered incorrectly.
