Environment Canada Lowers Threshold for GHG Emissions Reporting
On July 11, 2009, Environment Canada published a notice
in the Canada Gazette, under Section 46 of the Canadian
Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), requiring the
reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the year 2009.
Facilities with GHG emissions that meet or exceed the reporting
threshold must report their GHG information to Environment Canada on
or before June 1, 2010.
Highlights
 |
The
reporting threshold has been lowered from 100,000 tonnes CO2
equivalent (CO2E) to 50,000 tonnes CO2E. |
|
|
Two
reporting categories (i.e. Venting and Flaring, and Waste
and Wastewater) have been split into separate categories. |
|
|
GHG data
collection will be transferred from Statistics Canada to
Environment Canada starting March 2010. |
A full copy of the published
notice is available at the Environment Canada website (http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2009/2009-07-11/html/notice-avis-eng.html#d101)
