EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program

The federal Section 45Q tax credit is the foundational domestic policy mechanism to promote nationwide commercial deployment of carbon management technologies. The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), administered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is an essential regulatory program that underpins the Section 45Q tax credit. Facilities geologically storing captured carbon dioxide (CO2) must report the amount of CO2 sequestered to the GHGRP to claim the 45Q tax credit.
