Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)

Subpart UU – Injection of Carbon Dioxide

Rule Information

This rule requires reporting of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from facilities that inject carbon dioxide underground for the purposes of enhanced oil and gas recovery or any other purpose other than geologic sequestration. Facilities that report under subpart RR for a well or group of wells are not required to report under subpart UU for that well or group of wells.
