In particular, the final rule clarifies the emission sources that must provide greenhouse gas reports as including engines, boilers, heaters, flares, and separation and processing equipment. Covered sources are directed to provide separate reports for methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide emissions in addition to reporting cumulative emissions for all greenhouse gases in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
