Guidelines for Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reductions, and Carbon Sequestration

Résumé

Pursuant to Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the Department of Energy has developed guidelines for the voluntary reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, their reduction, and carbon fixation achieved through any measure. The data will be reported on forms to be developed by the Energy Information Agency (EIA) and entered into an EIA database. The guidelines provide for the voluntary reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and reductions, and of carbon sequestration. The guidelines and supporting materials will assist parties in analyzing activities and determining emissions and reductions in order to voluntarily report this data. The EIA reporting forms will be consistent with the guidelines. The guidelines and supporting material are finalized and will be available for distribution on or before October 31, 1994.
