Greenhouse Gas Reporting Amendments

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment is seeking comments on proposed amendments to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reporting Regulation (O. Reg. 452/09) and Guideline that would simplify the reporting requirements, align them with those in other Western Climate Initiative (WCI) jurisdictions, and provide greater encouragement for combustion of biomass.

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment is seeking comments on proposed amendments to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reporting Regulation (O. Reg. 452/09) and Guideline that would simplify the reporting requirements, align them with those in other Western Climate Initiative (WCI) jurisdictions, and provide greater encouragement for combustion of biomass. See EBR Registry Number: 011-0209.

The amendments would simplify the regulation by:

  • removing limits on the amount of emissions from the combustion of biomass that can be omitted from a facility's determination of whether it exceeds the 25,000 tonnes GHG emission reporting threshold; and
  • clarifying the submission of verification statement by verifiers to facilities.
