Facility greenhouse gas reports

Washington requires some facilities and transportation fuel suppliers to annually report their greenhouse gas emissions. Our program uses the same emission calculation methods as EPA's greenhouse gas reporting program. We use these reports to better understand the amount and sources of carbon pollution in Washington.

Greenhouse gas emissions data

Greenhouse gas reporting data can be viewed, filtered, and downloaded on our data.wa.gov site. This table contains information from all reports for each year since reporting began in 2012. You can also view the reports using the following tools.

This dataset does not include all of Washington’s emissions. See the Washington State Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for statewide emissions totals. The inventory and other official greenhouse gas emissions totals often do not include biogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Subtract biogenic carbon dioxide emissions from total emissions or use the provided alternate graphs below if you want numbers more consistent with those other programs.

Washington’s greenhouse gas reporting map shows all reporting facilities with a physical location. Transportation fuel suppliers have statewide emissions and are not on the map. View the map in full screen.

Reporting your greenhouse gas emissions

The information below will help you report your facility's emissions for the required greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting program. If you're a transportation fuel supplier, you have special reporting instructions that you can view on our transportation fuel supplier greenhouse gas reporting page.

Some facilities that are required to report their emissions to us are also required to report to the EPA. Please visit their website for more information about the EPA greenhouse gas reporting program.

Who is required to report in Washington?

Facilities that emit at least 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) per year in Washington.
Suppliers of liquid motor vehicle fuel, special fuel, or aircraft fuel that provide products equivalent to at least 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year in Washington.

Steps to register your facility and report your greenhouse gases

Upload your files to our Washington Electronic Database for Greenhouse Gas Emissions (WEDGE) through the Air Quality Application Portal. You need to enter through an existing Secure Access Washington (SAW) account or create a new account. When you successfully upload your files, you will be given an XML submittal ID. Make sure you record this number because you will need it for your report signature form.

For more information on how to use this portal watch this video.
