What is the ETV Greenhouse Gas Technology Center?
The ETV Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Technology Center, located in Research Triangle Park, NC
is a public/private partnership between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
Southern Research Institute. The GHG Center operates under the U.S. EPAs Environmental
Technology Verification (ETV) program, and provides independent performance testing of tech-
nologies that produce, mitigate, monitor, or sequester greenhouse gas emissions.
What Does the Center Do?
Since 1997, the GHG Center has located promising GHG mitigation and monitoring technolo-
gies, subjected them to independent third-party performance testing, and provided perform-
ance results to the public free of charge. To date, the GHG Center has completed or initiated
the verifications of 23 different environmental technologies. For technologies that perform
well, ETV verification can help increase technology sales and further environmental protection.
Technology performance verifications are accomplished using measurement and analytical
methods that have been reviewed and approved by independent expert stakeholder panels.
The GHG Center strives to help technology purchasers make wise purchase decisions, ven-
dors obtain independent confirmation of their technology's performance, and superior envi-
ronmental technologies penetrate the market place.
