PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE REGULATION FOR THE MANDATORY REPORTING OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS California Air Resources Board California Air Resources Board September 18, 2014

Presentation Outline Mandatory Reporting Program Background Proposed Amendments to the Mandatory Reporting Regulation Proposed 15 Day Changes Next Steps Staff Recommendation California Air Resources Board 2

Mandatory Reporting Program The Mandatory Reporting Regulation (MRR) requires California’s largest emitters to report greenhouse gases (GHG) each year Approximately 750 reporting entities Facilities with ≥ 10,000 MT CO 2 e emissions All Electricity Importers and Retail Providers Fuel and Natural Gas Suppliers Regulation includes requirements for third-party verification of reported data California Air Resources Board 3

Overview of Proposed Amendments Align with Cap-and-Trade Regulation Updates and additions to product data reporting Integrate Cost of Implementation (COI) Fee Regulation reporting into MRR Updates for Electric Power Entity reporting Clarifications and updates for petroleum and natural gas systems Updates and clarifications for fuel supplier requirements California Air Resources Board 4

Align with Cap-and-Trade Update reporting and verification requirements to support the Cap-and-Trade Program Clarify reporting requirements to support the calculation of compliance obligations Add additional product data and other data reporting to support allowance allocation Clarify product data verification procedures Update definitions to harmonize with Cap-and-Trade Regulation California Air Resources Board 5

Product Data Reporting Refineries and Hydrogen Correct total complexity weighted barrel (CWB) equation to be consistent with Cap-and-Trade Regulation Clarify existing requirement for primary refinery product reporting to ensure consistency in sector reporting Clarify definitions of “on-purpose hydrogen” and “by-product hydrogen” California Air Resources Board 6

COI Fee Regulation Data Reporting Integration Incorporate COI Fee Regulation data reporting requirements into Mandatory Reporting Regulation Provides consistent and verified data, reduces complexity Updates do not impose new data reporting requirements Streamlines reporting process 7 California Air Resources Board

Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems Clarify existing reporting requirements Exempt small equipment blowdowns Require reporting of emissions associated with compressor start-ups Add voluntary reporting of enhanced oil recovery steam produced via renewable methods (solar) Clarify existing oil and gas product data reporting requirements California Air Resources Board 8

Fuel Suppliers Clarify existing reporting requirements related to biofuels Clarify reporting requirements natural gas liquid (NGL) fractionators related to reporting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) Clarify how, and under what circumstances, natural gas suppliers should report biomethane deliveries California Air Resources Board 9

Electric Power Entities (1) Clarify requirements for reporting transmission losses Narrow existing applicability of hourly meter data retention and specify “lesser of” analysis Provides exemptions for specific types of imports Include reporting requirements related to sales of power into the California Independent System Operator California Air Resources Board 10

Electric Power Entities (2) Clarify which data sources are used to develop ARB’s specified source emission factors for imported power Staff proposal for additional changes in 15-day amendments Staff proposing to use U.S. EPA Part 98 data California Air Resources Board 11

Additional Data for Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution Need for better estimates of methane leaks Methane is a short-lived climate pollutant Require residential, commercial and industrial natural gas meter counts Emissions related to dig-ins Best available estimate Number of dig-ins California Air Resources Board 12

Verification Requirements Further strengthen conflict of interest requirements Include verification requirements to ensure quality and completeness of data under MRR Clarify applicability of conformance requirements related to data collected to support the COI Fee Regulation and the Cap-and-Trade Regulation California Air Resources Board 13

Proposed 15-day Revisions Clarify electric power entity requirements Use of US EPA GHG emissions data for computation of specified source emission factors In limited cases, default to using Energy Information Administration (EIA) fuel-use data for GHG emissions Use EIA net generation data Clarify transmission loss factor Clarify reporting requirements related to the definition of oil and gas production facilities Further clarify product data reporting requirements for refineries and hydrogen production California Air Resources Board 14

Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the approval of the proposed amendments to the Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, which also includes the 15-day changes described today California Air Resources Board 15
