As I am writing this on March 18, the Gretna project has been nixed allegedly due to complaints by residents.

The U.S. EPA will begin requiring participants of its mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reporting program to use prescribed methods on April 1. How do these methods differ from the best practices that have been used until now and what changes should producers look out for in the future?
