Description

To encourage Albertans to reduce carbon pollution from their cars and homes, a carbon levy is charged on all transportation and heating fuels that emit greenhouse gases when burned. The levy provides a financial incentive for families, businesses and communities to become more energy efficient and move away from higher-emission fuels. This resource lists the the underlying source data and methodology that is used to calculate fuel-specific carbon levies.

Description

The Carbon Offset Emission Factors Handbook contains a listing of common emission factors used in the Alberta carbon offset system as well as common quantification methodologies. Common emission factors, provided in section 1, are intended as inputs to formulae provided in approved quantification protocols. Common quantification methods, provided in section 2, are commonly used formulae for quantification of greenhouse gas offsets in Alberta. This section includes both quantification methods and factors required for greenhouse gas offset quantification. Emission factors and methodologies are subject o periodic updates. Updated values are immediately applicable for use in new offset projects. Current projects will be required to transfer to updated factors if they receive a crediting period extension. The project developer is responsible for ensuring the most current version is used for annual project reporting.
