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.

XML based reporting submitted after February 9, 2013 when the e-GGRT maintenance period begins, including any of the reports due by April 1, 2013, must be consistent with schema version v3.1. After February 9, the schema Version v3.1 must also be used for any submissions of previous RY2011 or RY2010 reporting including reports for RY2010 and RY2011 resubmitted with equation input data. The XML reporting schema version v3.1 and supporting materials are published below:

Until February 9, 2013, XML-based submissions should be formatted based on Version v2.2 of the schema.

Reporting instructions for XML submissions will be posted below by subpart when they are available. Additional reporting instruction are being prepared at this time. Subscribe to the e-GGRT RSS feed to keep informed on future updates to XML reporting instructions.

In addition EPA is providing the following supporting materials:

1 Please note that an earlier version (v3.0) of the RY2012 schema was released on January 30, 2013 and has been superseded by the current version (v3.1). Changes during that period affect Subpart HH and TT. If you are preparing an XML-based submission for Subpart HH or TT please ensure that you have used the updated schema.
