The California Air Resources Board (ARB) will make available on
June 30, 2015,at noon (12:00 PM) Pacific Time, the 2013
California Greenhouse gas (GHG) Emission Inventory data and an
evaluation of the 2013 Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting data.
The information posted will include the 2013 GHG emission
inventory data; supporting documentation including an analysis of
emissions trends; as well as an evaluation of the 2013 GHG data
reported pursuant to the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Regulation (MRR).
The 2013 GHG emission inventory data and supporting documentation
will be available at ARB's GHG Emission Inventory website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/inventory/inventory.htm
The evaluation of the 2013 MRR data will be available at both the
Cap-and-Trade and Mandatory GHG Reporting websites:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/ghg-rep.htm
In addition to the evaluation of the 2013 MRR data, staff will
post updated emissions data summary spreadsheets for the 2010,
2011, and 2012 data reporting years, to reflect minor revisions.
BACKGROUND:
ARB is responsible for developing and maintaining California's
inventory of GHG emissions. An updated GHG emission inventory is
published annually to reflect current data. The new GHG inventory
covers years 2000 to 2013. The emission estimates are statewide
estimates that rely on state, regional or national data sources,
and on aggregated facility-specific emissions data reported
pursuant to the MRR. Accompanying the GHG inventory data is the
"Trends of Emissions and Other Indicators" report, which explains
trends in statewide GHG emissions from major sectors.

The California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based
Compliance Mechanisms Regulation (Regulation) was adopted by the
California Air Resources Board in October of 2011, and formally
went into effect January 1, 2012. Entities subject to the
Regulation will have a compliance obligation for their GHG
emissions beginning on January 1, 2013. The Regulation was
amended in early 2013 to link the California and Québec programs
beginning January 1, 2014.
More information about the California Cap-and-Trade Program is
available here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm.
The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32, or AB
32) requires ARB to adopt regulations for the mandatory reporting
of GHG emissions. The Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of
Greenhouse Gas Emissions went into effect on January 1, 2009.
Over 700 entities, including facilities, fuel suppliers, and
electric power importers, are required to report their GHG
emissions data to ARB. Emissions data reports from entities with
25,000 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent or greater emissions
must be verified by ARB-accredited third-party verifiers. The
information in the emissions data reports is used to support
ARB's climate change programs, including California's
Cap-and-Trade Program.
