Proposed changes to GHG emission reporting regulations

The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change is seeking comments on proposed amendments to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Regulation (O.Reg. 452/09) and Guideline, including:

• Changes to the Global Warming Potential (GWP) values to adopt internationally-accepted values
• Clarification on verification statements
• Clarification on temporary and partial closures
• Changes to the guideline to remain consistent with requirements in other provinces
• Streamline director approvals in the guideline
• Other administrative updates

The changes are intended to simplify greenhouse gas emission reporting within Ontario, and to make Ontario rules more consistent with those of other jurisdictions. EBR Registry Number: 012-2618
