Current through September 30, 2024

Section 98.426 - Data reporting requirements

In addition to the information required by § 98.3(c) of subpart A of this part, the annual report shall contain the following information, as applicable:

(a) If you use Equation PP-1 of this subpart, report the following information for each mass flow meter or CO₂ stream that delivers CO₂ to containers:

(1) Annual mass in metric tons of CO₂.

(2) Quarterly mass in metric tons of CO₂.

(3) Quarterly concentration of the CO₂ stream.

(4) The standard used to measure CO₂ concentration.

(5) The location of the flow meter in your process chain in relation to the points of CO₂ stream capture, dehydration, compression, and other processing.

(b) If you use Equation PP-2 of this subpart, report the following information for each volumetric flow meter or CO₂ stream that delivers CO₂ to containers:

(1) Annual mass in metric tons of CO₂.

(2) Quarterly volume in standard cubic meters of CO₂.

(3) Quarterly concentration of the CO₂ stream in volume or weight percent.

(4) Report density as follows:

(i) Quarterly density of the CO₂ stream in metric tons per standard cubic meter if you report the concentration of the CO₂ stream in paragraph (b)(3) of this section in weight percent.

(ii) Quarterly density of CO₂ in metric tons per standard cubic meter if you report the concentration of the CO₂ stream in paragraph (b)(3) of this section in volume percent.

(5) The method used to measure density.

(6) The standard used to measure CO₂ concentration.

(7) The location of the flow meter in your process chain in relation to the points of CO₂ stream capture, dehydration, compression, and other processing.

(c) For the aggregated annual mass of CO₂ emissions calculated using Equation PP-3a or PP-3b, report the following:

(1) If you use Equation PP-3a of this subpart, report the annual CO₂ mass in metric tons from all flow meters and CO₂ streams that deliver CO₂ to containers.

(2) If you use Equation PP-3b of this subpart, report:

(i) The total annual CO₂ mass through main flow meter(s) in metric tons.

(ii) The total annual CO₂ mass through subsequent flow meter(s) in metric tons.

(iii) The total annual CO₂ mass supplied in metric tons.

(iv) The location of each flow meter in relation to the point of segregation.

(d) If you use Equation PP-4 of this subpart, report at the corporate level the annual mass of CO₂ in metric tons in all CO₂ containers that are imported or exported.

(e) Each reporter shall report the following information:

(1) The type of equipment used to measure the total flow of the CO₂ stream or the total mass or volume in CO₂ containers.

(2) The standard used to operate and calibrate the equipment reported in (e)(1) of this section.

(3) The number of days in the reporting year for which substitute data procedures were used for the following purpose:

(i) To measure quantity.

(ii) To measure concentration.

(iii) To measure density.

(f) Report the aggregated annual quantity of CO₂ in metric tons that is transferred to each of the following end use applications, if known:

(1) Food and beverage.

(2) Industrial and municipal water/wastewater treatment.

(3) Metal fabrication, including welding and cutting.

(4) Greenhouse uses for plant growth.

(5) Fumigants (e.g., grain storage) and herbicides.

(6) Pulp and paper.

(7) Cleaning and solvent use.

(8) Fire fighting.

(9) Transportation and storage of explosives.

(10) Injection of carbon dioxide for enhanced oil and natural gas recovery that is covered by subpart UU of this part.

(11) Geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide that is covered by subpart RR of this part.

(12) Research and development.

(13) Other.

(g) Each production process unit that captures a CO₂ stream for purposes of supplying CO₂ for commercial applications or in order to sequester or otherwise inject it underground when custody of the CO₂ is maintained shall report the percentage of that stream, if any, that is biomass-based during the reporting year.

(h) If you capture a CO₂ stream from an electricity generating unit that is subject to subpart D of this part and transfer CO₂ to any facilities that are subject to subpart RR of this part, you must:

(1) Report the facility identification number associated with the annual GHG report for the subpart D facility;

(2) Report each facility identification number associated with the annual GHG reports for each subpart RR facility to which CO₂ is transferred; and

(3) Report the annual quantity of CO₂ in metric tons that is transferred to each subpart RR facility.
