        Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

        The GHGRP requires reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) data and other relevant information from large GHG emission sources, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and CO2 injection sites in the United States. Approximately 8,000 facilities are required to report their emissions annually, and the reported data are made available to the public in October of each year.The GHGRP collects key information regarding the supply, underground injection, and geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the United States. Data from these activities are reported under the following GHGRP subparts:Suppliers of CO2 (subpart PP) covers facilities that capture CO2 from…
