{longname} Q466. An offshore petroleum and natural gas production facility emits the following during 2011 (note that the facility was NOT operating during 2008 and so no GOADS 2008 data available): (a) 20,000 metric tons CO2e from equipment leaks, vented emissions and flare emissions based on GOADS calculation methodology and (b) 10,000 metric tons CO2e from stationary combustion sources based on 40 CFR 98 Subpart C calculation methodology. Would this facility be required to report GHG emissions during 2011? {longname} |
