Register for industrial emissions reporting

Last updated on February 16, 2024

Operators that are required to report under the Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting Regulation must register their operations.

To determine whether an operation must be registered, the operator must forecast no later than February 28th of the reporting period. 

Operators that forecast the potential to exceed the 10,000 tonne carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) threshold must complete a registration form and submit it to the director by May 31st of the reporting period.

If an operation is initially forecasted to emit less than 10,000 tonnes of CO2e during the reporting period, but after February 28th, it is determined that the operation’s emissions are equal to or greater than 10,000 tonnes (not including carbon dioxide produced from biomass listed in Item 1 of Schedule C of the Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting Regulation), a completed registration form must be submitted within 90 days of the date of that determination.

The registration process for operators that are required to report 2023 data, but have not previously registered is:
