EPA has updated the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) data publication tool to reflect revised data submitted by facilities in the December 17th 2011 – February 10th, 2012 time frame . EPA also made other improvements to the data publication tool, including adding features to perform new queries of the data.
In addition, two new GHGRP data sets are being released and may be found on the GHGRP data downloads page. The first data set includes non confidential data elements provided by reporters and is available in XML format. The types of data elements provided in this file include methods used by the facilities to estimate their emissions, unit level emissions information (if this data is non-confidential) and other facility-specific data. The second file contains the name and location of each facility's highest-level United States parent company or companies, as reported to EPA.
In conjunction with the RY2011 launch of EPA's electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT), EPA will offer a training webinar on February 28, 2012. This webinar will introduce new and existing e-GGRT users to key features of e-GGRT, including how to submit annual greenhouse gas reports to EPA. Special emphasis will be placed on new features, improvements, and changes to the software.

Data collected via e-GGRT for the 2010 Reporting Year was published in January 2012 and can be viewed at: ghgdata.epa.gov
With the completion of EPA's scheduled maintenance outage, the electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT) is now available for the 2011 Reporting Year. Facilities and Suppliers subject to EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) may now begin entering their RY2011 data into e-GGRT by logging in at https://ghgreporting.epa.gov
The deadline for facilities and suppliers that are not reporting under any of the new 2011 source categories to report their 2011 GHG data to EPA is April 2nd, 2012. Facilities and suppliers wishing to enter or resubmit RY2010 data may still do so via e-GGRT, as the new version of e-GGRT allows multi-year reporting. If you are reporting for one or more of the new 2011 source categories, those new reporting features should be available in August of 2012.
e-GGRT Help will be unavailable starting 5pm EST on February 16 as it undergoes maintenance and is updated to support Reporting Year 2011. Please try to access the site again tomorrow. Thank you for you patience.
This is a reminder that EPA's electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT) will be unavailable to allow for system upgrades needed to support Reporting Year 2011. The maintenance outage began on Saturday, February 11, 2011. e-GGRT is expected to be available again during the week of February 20th. Once the upgrades are complete e-GGRT will be available for RY2011 reporting.
EPA has released its XML reporting schema for Reporting Year (RY) 2011 reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) data using Electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT) today.
The schema version (V2.0) for RY2011 reports due by April 2, 2012 is published at www.ccdsupport.com
The schema version for RY2011 reports due by September 28, 2012 is still under development and will be released in July 2012.
E-GGRT users who are preparing an XML bulk file must use the version 2.0 schema for RY2011 reports due by April 2, 2012 or for resubmitting RY2010 reports. The RY2010 version of the XML Reporting Schema will not be accepted by e-GGRT after February 21, 2012.
Reporting instructions for XML submissions are being prepared at this time and will be posted as they are completed. Subscribe to the e-GGRT RSS feed to keep informed on future updates to XML reporting instructions.
