Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases: Injection and Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide

Resumo

EPA is proposing a rule to require reporting on carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) injection and geologic sequestration (GS). The proposed rulemaking does not require control of greenhouse gases (GHGs), rather it requires only monitoring and reporting of CO 2 injection and geologic sequestration. EPA first proposed that suppliers of CO 2 be subject to mandatory GHG reporting requirements in April 2009 and finalized the rule for suppliers of CO 2 on October 30, 2009.
