What are reported but not registered reductions?
Reductions that qualify as reported but not registered are included in reports that meet less stringent reporting requirements than those for registered reductions. An entity reporting but not registering has the flexibility to report emissions and/or emission reductions on an entity-wide basis or for selected elements, gases, or sources. Entities reporting but not registering are also not required to meet the minimum data quality standards fo 3.0. An entity may report but not register annual reductions of greenhouse gas emissions and increases in carbon fixation realized in 1991 and subsequent years. Please not that EIA uses the term “reporting” (without the qualifier “but not registering”) to refer to both “registering” and “reporting but not registering” reductions.
