Abstract:
The United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program at 40 CFR 98 to add reporting requirements covering facilities that conduct injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) (subpart UU) and geologic sequestration of CO2 (subpart RR). The new subparts enable EPA to track the flow of CO2 across the CCS system. Subpart UU information on CO2 received reconciled with CO2 supply information enables EPA to better understand the quantity of CO2 supply that is used for underground injection compared to the quantity supplied to other end-uses. Subpart RR information will provide a nationally consistent approach for quantifying CO2 sequestered, and monitoring the growth and efficacy of GS as a GHG mitigation technology to evaluate relevant policy options.
