General Information
Collecting data from greenhouse gas emissions sources statewide is critical to ensuring New York State has the most current, accurate, and reliable information available to support the development of strategies to reduce harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and direct clean energy investments where they are needed most. As part of the State’s ongoing efforts to gather information regarding sources of GHG emissions and implement the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is establishing a mandatory GHG reporting program as recommended by the Climate Action Council’s Scoping Plan that will inform potential future actions to implement the Climate Act. The Reporting Program would require certain sources of GHG emissions to annually report emissions and related data to DEC.
The Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting regulation, Part 253, is now available on the Department’s recently proposed regulations webpage, visit DEC’s webpage Air Pollution Regulatory Revisions.
