Description

The purpose of this document is to assist offset market participants (protocol developers) wishing to develop quantification protocols for use in the Alberta offset system where the intended final purchaser of offset credits generated is a facility regulated under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. Alberta's offset market was initiated as a market instrument to support compliance under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. The Regulation requires all large, industrial facilities in Alberta emitting over 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year to reduce their emissions intensity by 12 per cent per year from their government approved baseline emission intensity.
