EPA has developed an XML reporting schema that will allow 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.

The final XML reporting schema for reporting year 2010, v1.2, dated 8/1/2011, can be downloaded here along with an updated Overview and FAQs on XML reporting at http://www.ccdsupport.com/schema/ghg

Additional information regarding GHG Reporting for Reporting Year 2010 using an XML submission can be found at the homepage for Data Reporting System: XML Reporting Schema
