Greenhouse Gas Emissions VerificationOn December 6, 2007, pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, the Air Resources Board (ARB) approved the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions regulation. The regulation requires the mandatory reporting and verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Facilities subject to mandatory reporting are required to have their greenhouse gas emissions verified beginning in 2010, for their 2009 reported emissions. Facilities will be subject to either annual or triennial verification. Only the following ARB accredited verification bodies and verifiers may provide verification services for the purposes of mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reporting.
