XML Reporting Instructions

EPA has developed an XML reporting schema that allows facilities to upload their greenhouse gas (GHG) data directly in lieu of using the web forms provided through the Electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT). XML is a set of specifications designed to create common electronic data formats in order to facilitate data sharing and comparison.

There will be two schema versions for reporting year (RY) 2011 reflecting the two reporting deadlines (April 2, 2012 and September 28, 2012). More information on reporting deadlines can be found by clicking this link.

The schema version for RY2011 reports due by April 2, 2012 is published below.

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 for download by subpart below.  Subscribe to the e-GGRT RSS feed to keep informed on future updates to XML reporting instructions.
