On October 23, 2008, the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission adopted a greenhouse gas emission reporting mechanism for entities that release more than 2,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent gases annually. The mechanism will be implemented in two phases, with Title V sources and entitles with an air discharge permit required to start reporting 2009 emissions in 2010 and all other sources required to start reporting 2010 emissions in 2011. Entities will continue to report greenhouse gas emissions on an annual basis. Data from Oregon reporting will be integrated into The Climate Registry, a non-profit monitoring and reporting organization that has membership spanning the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
