Optional Calculation Spreadsheet Instructions

Changed

Last updated: 1 month ago

These optional spreadsheets are provided to assist reporters in calculating emissions and in keeping records of these calculations.

Reporters are required to keep records of these calculations under 40 CFR 98.3(g) and additional subpart-specific provisions, but are not required to use these spreadsheets or to submit any spreadsheets to EPA.

Please refer to the Calculation Spreadsheet Archive to review obsolete calculation spreadsheets.

EPA is providing OPTIONAL calculation spreadsheets that you can use to perform the calculations called for in the emission equations. These Microsoft Excel spreadsheets can be downloaded and opened on your own computer. Just click the hyperlink on the web-form to view and download the appropriate calculation spreadsheet for the equation you are working on. You can enter the data, including equation inputs, necessary to perform the calculation for the equation, and the spreadsheets will calculate the result for you. Once you have calculated the result, enter the result onto the e-GGRT web form.

E-GGRT will NOT collect the calculation spreadsheets and you do NOT need to submit them outside of e-GGRT. The use of these calculation spreadsheets is voluntary. The spreadsheets are meant to support reporters as they complete the e-GGRT online reporting process. You do not need to use EPA’s spreadsheets to perform the calculations for the emissions equations, but you do need to keep records of these calculations (under 40 CFR 98 3(g) and additional subpart-specific provisions) whether or not you use the calculation spreadsheets provided by EPA. If you do use the spreadsheets, you may choose to maintain copies to help meet your record-keeping requirements.

Calculation spreadsheets include no rounding of results. All calculations in these spreadsheets are conducted using double decimal precision, as native in MS Excel.  The resultant values are presented on the spreadsheet in 7 decimals of precision. Users may copy the results from spreadsheets into e-GGRT manually or by using a copy and paste command.

Subpart W Calculation Tool for RY24_v6.xlsx (Updated 5/29/2025)

Changes to RY24 Subpart W Calculation Tool for RY24 v5 compared to v1

  • Introduction: Corrected error in the applicability cells for the Flare Stacks source for the onshore natural gas transmission compression, underground natural gas storage, LNG storage, and LNG import and export equipment industry segments
  • Pneumatic Devices: Corrected issues with Calculation Method 2 where Tt was being improperly factored in the volumetric calculations and updated the column headings
  • Pneumatic Pumps: Unlocked the C31 and D31 entry cells that were preventing entry
  • Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors: Corrected a calculation error in the table for Production and G&B facilities that do NOT use volumetric measurements where all rows of volume calculation were referring to only the first row of input data
  • Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors: Updated column headings for time and GHG concentrations to include default values
  • Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors: Added a column to the table for Production and G&B facilities that do NOT use volumetric measurements allowing for entering a count of compressors that use the same conditions to ease data entry and modified the calculations to suit
  • Equipment Leaks (Leaks-1): Corrected logic errors in the Equation W-30 calculations that would always result in 0s
  • Leaks-1: Removed errant input values left over from testing
  • Leaks-2, Leaks-3, and Leaks-4: Editorial changes to text and labels, corrections to conditional formatting, and added jump links to Calculation Method 2 input tables
  • Leaks-2 and Leaks-4: Added clarification and more direction to the instructions and contextual error message for the Individual Leaker Table for Calculation Method 1
  • Leaks-2 and Leaks-4: Revised per-component mole fraction inputs to no longer be inputs and refer to the facility-level mole fraction inputs
  • Leaks-4: Corrected multiple erroneous formulaic references in the calculations for Calculation Method 2

Additional changes from v5 to v6

  • (f) Liquids Unloading: Revised the language of the instructive note in the "HRp,q" column heading of the Calculation Methods 2 & 3 table to instruct users to follow a weighted average approach rather than an arithmetic average approach.
  • (p) Reciprocating Compressors: Corrected an issue in which the sum of compressors column was referencing the wrong column
  • (q) Leaks-2: Updated text alignment of some cells in the first component input table
