Carbon flux can be positive or negative; positive values indicate a net increase in terrestrial carbon stocks; negative values indicate a net loss of carbon to the atmosphere, i.e.,
emissions. Carbon flux may be calculated directly using flux based approaches or as the change in carbon stocks between the reporting year and the previous year.
2
Reporters using methods that estimate carbon flux only should enter a carbon flux value in the column “Reporting Year Stock Change or Carbon Flux” and leave columns blank for
Carbon Stock data.
3
Methods include lookup tables, models, measurement, or a combination of these methods. If using a model, please indicate the name.
4
Forest management includes management decisions taken at any stage of forest rotation. Forest preservation is a special case and is reported separately in Question 4c below.
5
Activities such as thinning should be included under Forest Management.

“Other” includes activities not covered in the previous categories practiced by landowners that may result in changes in carbon fluxes or stocks.

4. Include the Certification of Independent Verification
We are an independent verifier of _________[entity]_________’s emissions report. We do not hold
any financial interest in the outcome of this audit. We are not owned in whole or in part by
_________[entity]_________ nor do we provide any ongoing operational, support, or consulting
services to _________[ entity]_________ except services consistent with independent financial
accounting or independent certification of compliance with government or private standards.
This is to certify that ________[entity]_________has had its greenhouse gas emissions report
covering the period
to __________ verified according to the Voluntary Reporting of
Greenhouse Gases Guidelines found in 10 CFR Part 300.11(d). We have found that the report
meets the requirements of 10 CFR 300.11(e), including the following:
•

The information reported on this form is accurate and complete;

•

The information reported on this form has been compiled in accordance with the Voluntary
Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Guidelines found in 10 CFR Part 300;

•

The information reported on this form is consistent with information submitted in prior years, if
any, or any inconsistencies with prior year’s information are documented and explained in
Schedule I, Entity Statement;

•

The reporting entity has taken due diligence to ensure that emissions, emission reductions, or
sequestration reported in this EIA-1605(b) report are not double counted in this report, or
reported by any other entity;

•

For any emissions, emission reductions, or sequestration included in this report that were
achieved by a third-party entity, there exists a written agreement with each third party
indicating that it has agreed that the reporting entity should be recognized as the entity
entitled to report these emissions, emission reductions, or sequestration;

•

None of the emissions, emission reductions, or sequestration reported was produced by
shifting emissions to other entities or to non-reporting parts of the entity;

•

None of any reported changes in avoided emissions associated with the sale of electricity,
steam, hot or chilled water generated from non-emitting or low-emitting sources are
attributable to the acquisition of a generating facility that has been previously operated,
unless the base year generation values are derived from records of the facility’s operation
prior to its acquisition; and

•

The reporting entity will maintain sufficient records to document the analysis and calculations
underpinning this verification for a period of no less than three years.

SECTION 2. REPORTER SELF-CERTIFICATION
1. Certification
I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that:
This form meets the following three requirements for reporting reductions.
•

The information reported on this form is accurate and complete;

•

The information reported on this form has been compiled in accordance with the Voluntary
Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Guidelines found in 10 CFR Part 300; and

•

This form meets the above three requirements for reporting reductions and the five additional
requirements for registering reductions listed below.
•

Reasonable steps have been taken to ensure that direct emissions, emission reductions,
and/or sequestration reported are neither double counted nor reported by any other entity;

•

Any emission reductions reported or registered by the entity that were achieved by another
entity (other than a very small emitter that participated in a demand-side management
program) are included in this report only if: the other entity does not intend to report or
register theses reductions directly; there exists a written agreement with each other entity
providing that the reporting entity is the entity entitled to report or register these emission
reductions; and the information reported on the other entity would meet the requirements of
this part if the entity were reporting directly to DOE/EIA.

•

None of the emissions, emission reductions, or sequestration were produced by shifting
emissions to other entities or to non-reporting parts of the entity;

•

None of any reported changes in avoided emissions associated with the sale of electricity,
steam, hot or chilled water generated from non-emitting or low-emitting sources are
attributable to the acquisition of a generating facility that has been previously operated,
unless the entity’s base period includes generation values from the acquiring facility’s
operation prior to its acquisition; and

•

The entity maintains records documenting the analysis and calculations underpinning the
data reported on this form and records documenting the analysis and calculations
underpinning the base values used in calculating annual reductions are maintained in
accordance with 10 CFR 300.9(d).

The DSM or other program must be funded by the reporting entity.
•
The estimated effects reported must first occur after the entity's start year and must cause a
reduction of the total emissions of residential or other very small emitters.
•
The qualifying program must provide information or other technical assistance, financial incentives,
direct installation or investment, or other non-commercial services to very small emitters to assist
them achieving emission reductions recognized by these guidelines.
•
Program evaluations must be performed and/or certified by an independent and qualified third party
verifier. The third party must certify that the estimated annual energy usage or emission reductions
were estimated in accordance with these guidelines.
