US EditionTrump EPA proposes end to mandatory greenhouse gas reporting
- On February 18, 2025, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a proposal to terminate the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program during an event held in Washington, D.C.
- The proposal follows a Trump administration executive order aiming to remove regulations perceived as burdensome to U.S. energy producers, particularly fossil fuels.
- The program, active since 2010, requires more than 8,000 industrial facilities to annually report their greenhouse gas emissions and supports policies to reduce pollution.
- Zeldin criticized the program as an unnecessary regulatory burden that fails to enhance air quality and asserted that eliminating it could reduce costs for businesses by as much as $2.4 billion over a decade.
- Critics say ending the program hides pollution data, risks increased emissions, undermines environmental accountability, and endangers investments in clean technologies.
