On November 7, 2019, EPA held a stakeholder workshop on EPA’s GHG data for natural gas and petroleum systems from the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) and GHG Inventory. The workshop took place in Pittsburgh, PA.
At the workshop, EPA presented on GHGRP data, and on existing GHG Inventory methods and updates under consideration based on previous stakeholder comments and data from the GHGRP and external studies.
Stakeholders also presented new data and information relevant to estimating GHG emissions from natural gas systems and petroleum systems.
The stakeholder workshop agenda, presentation slides, and memo are available here.
