Register Your Facility Using the Reporting Tool to Report Emissions

GHG Reporting Tool

Reporters subject to California's Mandatory GHG emissions reporting program must submit their data to the ARB using our online Reporting Tool. By law, required data must be submitted and certified as accurate and complete by June 1, 2009. See the Reporting Tool website and our Instructional Guidance for information and documents that will help with meeting your reporting obligations. Contact us with questions about reporting or using the tool.

Reporting Tool Training Videos Posted

Video recordings of the sector-specific reporting tool trainings are now available.

The reporting tool is key to ARB's implementation of California's mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting regulation, which was approved by the Board in December, 2007, and is now effective. Instructional Guidance for reporting GHG emissions as required by the rule is now available. The final regulation text and Final Statement of Reasons (FSOR) are available on ARB's regulatory website.

For CCAR Members
Reporting to CCAR is not a substitute for mandatory reporting to ARB. See:
Fact sheet for additional information and Reporting Presentation for CCAR members.

For Electricity Generators, Retailers, and Marketers
A list of Generating Facilities and other reporting information is availble.

Reporting Schedule Update - All Reports Due June 1, 2009

ARB staff has posted a Regulatory Advisory providing a two-month grace period for reporters subject to the regulation’s April 1, 2009, reporting deadline. For this first year, the deadline for all sectors is June 1, 2009. This allows all reporters about three months to learn the reporting tool and complete their emissions reports. In addition, reporters who choose to have their initial emissions reports verified will have until December 1, 2009, to complete this process.
