Using Cal e-GGRT to Prepare Your Subpart Q Report
Note: The Cal e-GGRT help system includes general instruction on using the California GHG reporting tool. However, the help system may not explain differences between California and U.S. EPA reporting requirements. Please refer to the ARB reporting website for California-specific reporting requirements and additional help.

Subpart Q Unit Information
Subpart Q Unit Information

...

  • An indication of the calculation methodology used to estimate quantities of CO2 for this unit (Carbon mass balance method or Site-specific emission factor method)
  • A unique name or identifier, plus optional description for this process unit
  • The type of process unit
  • The name and type of each input and output associated with the process unit (Note: This requirement applies only if carbon mass balance method is used to estimate CO2 process emissions for the unit. If you have a process input or output other than CO2 in the exhaust gas that contains carbon that is not included in Equations Q-1 through Q-7 Q–1 through Q–7 of this section, you must account for the carbon and mass rate of that process input or output in your calculations according to the procedures in §98.174(b)(5). See also the exception in 98.174(b)(4).)
