Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program Portal 

The U.S. EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program is meant to collect accurate and timely GHG data from large GHG sources in the U.S. to inform future policy decisions. However, the companies affected by this rule can become overwhelmed staying up-to-date on the regular issuances and intricacies of the program.

The CE3 project, "Assisting Ohio Stakeholders with EPA's Mandatory Reporting Requirements," began in 2011 with the goal of facilitating a productive information exchange among Ohio facilities and state agencies affected by the U.S. EPA's GHG Reporting Program. Below are some examples of the work being conducted under this grant.
