To begin, log in to e-GGRT to reach the e-GGRT home page.
From the e-GGRT home page, click the DATA REPORTING tab and follow the steps below.

Step 2. Generate your annual GHG report
To generate an annual GHG report for the selected facility or supplier, find the SUBMIT ANNUAL REPORT table and click GENERATE/RESUBMIT. Clicking GENERATE/RESUBMIT begins the process of generating an annual GHG report - clicking this button does NOT submit your report. You would also use this button if you have made changes in e-GGRT to your data and wish to generate and submit a revision to your annual GHG report.
If you are not submitting an annual report for this facility or supplier, use the check box near the bottom of the screen to indicate that your facility is NOT required to submit a report.

Step 3. Review your annual report
Once the process is complete, e-GGRT will indicate that your report is Ready for Review. To review your annual report, in the REVIEW REPORT section, click VIEW REPORT. This will open an HTML version of your report in your browser. Alternatively, you may view an XML version the report by clicking VIEW XML.
You may generate your report, review the XML and/or HTML report, correct reported data as necessary, and repeat as many times as you wish. The GENERATE REPORT process creates an annual GHG report for your review, but does not submit any data to EPA. If you do not want to proceed to SUBMIT/CERTIFY (Step 4), click the BACK button to return to the Facility Overview page.

Step 4. Submit and Certify your annual GHG report
To submit and certify your annual GHG report to EPA, click SUBMIT/CERTIFY near the bottom of the page.
Please note that clicking on the SUBMIT/CERTIFY button will submit your annual GHG report to EPA. You will not be permitted to cancel the submission - you will be required to certify/sign the report before you will be permitted to submit a subsequent revision to your annual GHG report.
Review the FACILITY INFORMATION, CERTIFICATION STATEMENT, and NOTE TO AGENTS and if you agree to the terms of the CERTIFICATION STATEMENT, enter your e-GGRT password and click SUBMIT. When prompted, answer your challenge question to confirm your identity and click SUBMIT.
