Summary
Details
- Oregon
The CPP is a binding statewide program that sets mandatory declining greenhouse-gas limits for fuel suppliers and large stationary sources.
Criteria:
Fuel suppliers delivering gasoline, diesel, natural gas and other fuels in Oregon
Large stationary sources exceeding emissions thresholds (industrial, manufacturing, processing facilities)
Covers entities required to reduce emissions according to state-declared compliance schedules, acquire compliance instruments, and meet annual or periodic reporting requirements.
Exemptions and Flexibility:
Small businesses and entities below emissions thresholds are exempt.
Agricultural operations and certain industrial sectors may receive modified obligations depending on activity type.
Some sources are excluded from the program, such as aviation and marine fuels (regulated under separate systems).
Flexibility includes use of Community Climate Investment (CCI) credits, limited off-site reductions, and pathway-specific alternative mechanisms for emissions reductions.
Tribal or federal facilities may fall outside direct state jurisdiction.
