Facility GHG Reporting

Accurate tracking of GHG emissions is an important part of assessing Canada 's overall environmental performance. In March, 2004, the Government of Canada announced the introduction of mandatory reporting of GHG emissions by major emitters.

By providing a more precise picture of the sources and amounts of Canada's GHG emissions, mandatory reporting will contribute to the development, implementation and evaluation of climate change and energy use policies and strategies.

In Phase One of mandatory GHG reporting, all facilities that emit the equivalent of 100,000 tonnes (100kt) or more of carbon dioxide (in CO₂ equivalent units) per year are required to report. Reporters can submit their reports for the calendar year 2004 using an Electronic Data Reporting (EDR) system on the GHG Reporting web site.
