Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where CO2 is injected into an enhanced oil recovery scheme and emissions offset project. The opportunity for generating emission offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the capture, transportation and injection and ultimate sequestration of CO2.

Quantification protocol for landfill gas capture and combustion. Version 3.0

Description

The scope of this protocol enables generation of emission offsets for landfill gas capture and combustion and/or combustion of landfill gas in an energy recovery system that displaces electricity.... More ≫

Description

The scope of this protocol enables generation of emission offsets for landfill gas capture and combustion and/or combustion of landfill gas in an energy recovery system that displaces electricity. The installation of landfill gas capture and combustion technology can convert methane to carbon dioxide resulting in a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Combustion with energy recovery can further reduce emissions by displacing fossil fuel sourced energy used to generate electricity and heat.

Quantification protocol for aerobic composting. Version 3.0

Description

Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved through optimally-operated aerobic composting. This quantification protocol sets the parameters for offset projects involving aerobic... More ≫

Description

Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved through optimally-operated aerobic composting. This quantification protocol sets the parameters for offset projects involving aerobic composting. For the purposes of this protocol, the baseline condition for eligible waste streams is set as anaerobic decomposition in a managed landfill in Alberta. The project condition is a demonstrated diversion of waste from the baseline case of landfilling to an eligible aerobic composting project.

Description

Anaerobic decomposition of organic waste materials in a landfill generates gases that contain approximately 60 per cent methane, a greenhouse gas (GHG). The amount of methane emitted from a landfill can be reduced through the installation of landfill gas capture and combustion technology to convert the methane to carbon dioxide. Combustion with energy recovery further reduces GHG emissions by displacing fossil fuel sourced energy to generate heat and electricity. This document presents the methodology for quantifying methane emission reductions which result from the use of one or both of these methods of reducing methane emissions.

Description

Written for the biofuel production facility or project developer, this protocol quantifies the emission reductions from the avoidance of fossil fuel consumption when the fossil fuel is replaced by biofuels on an equivalent energy potential basis. The protocol also includes reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to any heat/power production and electricity generation related to the process, and from the avoidance of landfilling any materials which may be diverted for conversion to biofuel. The protocol is not intended to be prescriptive, but instead serve as a generic “recipe” for biofuel facility owners and operators to follow in order to meet measurement, monitoring and GHG quantification requirements.
