Tips for Preparing Your Annual GHG Report for 2019

New Comment Feature: Data Validation Checks

The e-GGRT system includes data validation checks that identify potential errors in your annual report.  If you are not able to resolve a data validation check, please add an optional comment prior to submitting your report explaining why you believe your data is correct.  Your comments may resolve an issue that would otherwise have required correspondence with EPA.

Streamlined Reporting for Stationary Fuel Combustion (Subpart C)

EPA has created time-saving data entry tools for subpart C reporters.  More information on these tools can be found at Subpart C Streamlined Reporting - Overview

EPA will be hosting a training webinar on these new tools on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at 2 PM EST.  To register for this webinar visit:  https://www.epa.gov/ghgreporting/training-and-testing-opportunities-ghg-reporting

The electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT) will be unavailable beginning the evening of Friday, February 7th, 2020 for a brief maintenance period in preparation for RY2019 reporting.

Before the maintenance period begins, EPA encourages you to take care of any pending Certificate of Representation and Notice of Delegation actions so that you will be ready for the RY19 e-GGRT reporting period.  These might include new representative or agent appointments, and changes in designated or alternate designated representatives.  For more detail on these processes please review our help content on the topics using the links below.  Please note that facility representatives or agents that are new to e-GGRT will need to complete user registration, including a Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA).  Please allow several days for EPA to process and approve any paper ESAs.

If you have any questions regarding these tools please contact the GHGRP Help Desk.
