EPA delays greenhouse gas reporting deadline for 2025
Official: Extending the Reporting Deadline Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for Reporting Year 2025 to March 10, 2027
Reading: The deadline extension is a procedural delay that does not weaken, repeal, or advance the underlying Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule; it only postpones when 2025 data must be submitted.
The rule itself stays the same; only the due date changes.
In clear language
The EPA is pushing back the deadline for companies to report their 2025 greenhouse gas emissions from October 30, 2026, to March 10, 2027. This gives businesses and organizations an extra four-and-a-half months to gather and submit their emissions data. The rule itself stays the same; only the due date changes.
