Description

This protocol quantifies the emission reductions from the avoidance of fossil fuel consumption, replaced by municipal solid waste on an equivalent energy potential basis. It also specifically includes reductions in GHG emissions due to any heat/power production and electricity generation related to the process, and from the avoidance of landfilling any organic materials which may be diverted for conversion to Biofuel.

Description

Alberta is the only province in Canada that regulates landfills based on the quantity of greenhouse gas emitted. This guidance document was produced by the Alberta Landfill Gas Working Group to assist landfills to quantify landfill gas emissions by way of modelling, and to fulfill the requirements of the Specified Gas Reporting Regulation and Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. Another key objective of the guidance document was to standardize modeling parameters while taking into account site-specific conditions for the province of Alberta. This guidance document will be recognized by Alberta as the standardized method for landfill specified gas quantification until such time when standardized field quantification methods are approved in the future.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the acid gas processing system operator or an acid gas project developer. Some familiarity with, or general understanding of, the operation of an acid gas processing facility is assumed. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arises from the direct and indirect reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the geological sequestration of acid gas streams containing greenhouse gases as part of raw natural gas processing.

Description

This protocol is applicable to the quantification of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the implementation of facilities that convert the energy in solar radiation into electrical energy as the end product. These cover several technologies and will be referred to simply as “solar electric facilities”. The protocol quantifies the emission reductions based on the generation of an equivalent quantity of electricity from fossil fuel based sources, either at grid-connected or off-grid facilities.

Description

This protocol is applicable to the quantification of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the implementation of facilities that convert the potential energy of river flow into low retention, water-powered electricity generation as run-of-river or on an existing reservoir. Henceforth, these facilities will be referred to as ‘run-of-river hydro’ and as ‘existing reservoir hydro’ electricity generation projects, respectively. The protocol quantifies the emission reductions based on the generation of an equivalent quantity of electricity from fossil fuel based sources, either at grid-connected or off-grid facilities. Withdrawn as of March 31, 2020.

Description

The protocol outlines the methodology used to calculate emission reductions that result from the use of an aerobic landfill bioreactor. The protocol applies to landfills or landfill cells which are at capacity and will not be accepting more waste materials, and are covered. Rather than the content being left to decompose anaerobically and producing methane, wells are drilled to aerate the waste and recirculate leachate. The resulting carbon dioxide emissions are considered as biogenic. The protocol is written for the aerobic landfill bioreactor project developer and assumes the reader has some familiarity with or general understanding of waste management practices including aerobic composting and the operation of a landfill.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the project developer completing gravel and lightly surfaced road rehabilitation. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction of greenhouse gases emissions by reducing the use of fossil-fuel derived energy during the rehabilitation of gravel and lightly-surfaced roads. Projects applying this protocol achieve fuel savings from the recycling of recovered, processed aggregate from the existing road bed, reducing the amount of aggregate and binder needing to be sourced, processed and transported to the project site.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the electric facility project operator or project proponent. Some familiarity with, or general understanding of, the operation of a wind electric facility, and associated practices, is expected. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arise from the quantification of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the implementation of facilities that convert the energy in wind into electrical energy as the end product. These opportunities cover several technologies and will be referred to simply as “wind electric facilities” The protocol quantifies the emission reductions based on the generation of an equivalent quantity of electricity from fossil fuel based sources, either at grid-connected or off-grid facilities.
