The Secretary of the Interior shall make freely available on a public website, with respect to the previous year— information that describes for each fossil fuel operation that is subject to the mineral leasing laws or title III or V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 ( 30 U.S.C. 1761 et seq.), regardless of size, including production, storage, gathering, processing, transportation, and handling operations— the aggregate amount of each fossil fuel, by type and by State, produced on Federal leases; and for gas reported, the portion and source of such amount that was released or disposed of by each of venting, flaring, and fugitive release; and information that describes the amount and sources of energy, in delivered megawatt hours, produced from operating solar, wind, and geothermal projects on public lands under lease for the production of renewable energy.
Information made available under this section shall be presented in a format that— translates such amounts and portions into emissions of metric tons of greenhouse gases expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent using both the 20-year and 100-year Global Warming Potential-weighted emission values; for energy produced from solar, wind, and geothermal projects, includes an estimate of the net emissions that would result from production of the same amount of energy from new fossil fuel-fired facilities; and can be downloaded in a machine readable format.
The data made available under this section shall be updated at least annually.
