Companies Must Report Their 2025 Pollution Emissions
Official: Reporting Deadline Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for 2025
Reading: The rule extends the existing Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule deadline for 2025 without substantively changing the stringency or scope of the reporting requirement itself.
New Jersey facilities that emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases must submit their 2025 data by the deadline set in this rule.
In clear language
The EPA has set a deadline for companies and facilities to report their greenhouse gas emissions from 2025. This reporting helps track whether businesses are meeting climate goals and holds them accountable for their pollution. New Jersey facilities that emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases must submit their 2025 data by the deadline set in this rule.
