Industrial facilities that release 25,000 tonnes or more of greenhouse gases (GHGs) will soon be required to report their emission data to the government and public. This new reporting regulation comes into force on January 1, 2010. It covers who has to report, what data they report, and how and when they report it. This is an important first step towards implementing a cap-and-trade system in Ontario.

The government anticipates that between 200 to 300 facilities will be affected. They will start reporting their 2010 emissions in 2011. 

Read the decision notice on the reporting regulation and the new regulation, number 452/09, on the Environmental Registry, registry number 010-7889.
