Standardizing Calculation of Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a study and publish guidance on how major industrial facilities must calculate and report their indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3 emissions). The goal is to standardize environmental reporting, providing greater transparency regarding the full carbon footprint of companies. This standardization sets the stage for potential future environmental regulations aimed at improving air quality.
Key points
The EPA must develop standards for measuring pollution generated across the entire supply chain of large industrial facilities (e.g., transportation, raw materials).
The guidance will specify reporting thresholds and methodologies for accurately counting and monitoring this indirect pollution data.
The Act does not impose immediate mandatory reporting but prepares the framework for future unified environmental disclosure.
