Description

The Joint Canada-Alberta Implementation Plan for Oil Sands Monitoring (JOSM) identified air emissions inventories as critical to obtaining accurate information on what is being emitted to the atmosphere from all activities related to oil sands developments. This report details the development and compilation of the JOSM Inventory, including identifying the data sources, compilation procedures, gap analysis, and how priority data gaps were addressed. It also provides summary information on the JOSM Inventory and accompanying database, details the associated emissions processing that was carried out to generate gridded input emissions files for modelling, and outlines the setup of the GEM-MACH modelling system.

Description

In 1987 a detailed inventory of NOx sources was completed for the province, as part of the Acid Deposition Research Project (ADRP). This project included identification of the source and technology, location, and estimation of emissions. In 1988, Informational Letter 88-5 (IL 88-5) was jointly issued by the Energy Resources Conservation Board (now the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board) and Alberta Environment. For the first time in Alberta, this document required the use of low NOx technology for reciprocating engines. In December 1992 the CCME issued the National Emission Guidelines for Stationary Combustion Turbines, which applied to new turbine engines. It is desired that the penetration of the technologies prescribed in these Guidelines and other low NOx technologies be determined for Alberta.
