California Greenhouse Gas Mandatory Reporting and Verification Services

ENVIRON provides strategic and technical assistance in support of California’s Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Our depth and experience with air emission inventory development and climate change issues provide a strong foundation for our services in this area. ENVIRON is an accredited California Air Resources Board (ARB) Verification Body (ARB Executive Order H-09-004), holding the accreditation required by ARB to provide verification services of GHG emission inventories reported per the California Mandatory Reporting Rule. Our staff includes verifiers with sector acceditation for refineries, cement plants and electricity transactions.

California’s Mandatory Reporting Regulation requires most or all facilities within specific industrial sectors (e.g., refinery and hydrogen production, cement and electricity transactions) to report their GHG emissions. The regulation also requires facilities generating electricity and with general stationary combustion sources to potentially report depending on the generating capacity and/or amount of carbon dioxide emissions. ENVIRON can assist facilities in developing their emission inventories and GHG emission inventory programs. Alternately, ENVIRON can provide verification services on emissions reports as required by the regulation.

ENVIRON’s technical professionals have experience working with refineries, cement manufacturers, electricity generating facilities and a variety of facilities that have general stationary combustion sources, including but not limited to landfills, universities and manufacturing facilities. ENVIRON also has worked in a variety of capacities to assist facilities in reporting emissions to regulatory agencies or voluntary GHG reporting schemes (e.g., The Climate Registry) and for cap and trade programs (e.g., South Coast Air Quality Management District’s RECLAIM program). ENVIRON’s depth and variety of expertise provide the foundation and resources required to identify and meet the needs of California’s Mandatory Reporting Regulation. The extensive auditing experience of our technical professionals allows us to provide efficient and effective verification services.
