Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Verification procedure for the greenhouse gas emission report and the sub-installation activity level report

• Preparation of a quotation/contract based on the information obtained about the device.
• Familiarisation of the operator with the way of working (verification procedure)
• Obtaining basic information and data on the installation: Emission report for the reporting year; Activity level report on sub-installations, Installation greenhouse gas emissions permit (changes during the reporting year); Monitoring methodology plan on the installation; Operator risk assessment and description of the general control system (complex installations); Record of all these changes in accordance with Article 16(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 as amended.
• Establishment of a verification plan (based on a strategic analysis, i.e. an analysis of all activities taking place at the installation that contribute to the emission of GHGs, and on a risk analysis – verification of all sources of GHG emissions from the installation with regard to the reliability of the data from each source and its contribution to the overall GHG emissions from the installation).
• Carrying out the verification and producing a draft verification report of the GHG emission report and a draft verification report on activity levels (physical visit of the installation, data acquisition, etc.).
• Independent review of verification documentation and draft reports.
• Creating a written opinion (giving an assessment of the degree of truthfulness, correctness and accuracy of the report) – the written opinion is either positive or negative on the GHG emissions report and activity level report on the sub-installations.
• Submission of the verification report and the written opinion on the GHG emission report to the ARSO and the operator of the installation.
• Data entry/confirmation of emissions in the emission allowance registry.
• Submission of the verification report and written opinion on the activity level report to the operator of the installation.
