The draft e-GGRT XML schema definitions (*.xsd) for Reporting Year 2024 are posted below. There is also a file summarizing the changes between the Reporting Year (RY) 2023 and the RY2024 Annual Report XML schema definitions, as well as a technical comparison report. Facilities must use the Final RY2024 Annual Report schema definitions for all submissions and resubmissions (i.e., RY2024, RY2023, and prior years) once the RY2024 reporting season begins. Note that the e-GGRT software released in early 2025 for use in RY2024 reporting will only support years RY2019 through RY2024.
The Draft RY2024 Inputs Verifier Tool (IVT) XML schema definitions are also posted below. For information on using e-GGRT to upload these IVT files, please refer to Uploading XML submissions with an XML IVT File.
New global warming potentials (GWPs) are in effect for RY2024 reporting. GWPs are not defined within the e-GGRT system's XML schema definition, however if you are preparing bulk XML files for upload, please ensure you are using the correct RY2024 GWP values when calculating CO2 equivalents.
The RY2024 XML schema WILL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE until e-GGRT is made available for RY2024 reporting.
The information provided on this page is DRAFT. XML-based reporting submitted after e-GGRT is open for RY2024 reporting must be consistent with the FINAL schema.
