Description

In December 2023, the Government of Canada announced plans to implement a national cap-and-trade system to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the oil and gas sector to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. This report, prepared by the Conference Board of Canada and presented to Alberta Treasury Board and Finance, estimates the potential economic impact of a greenhouse gas emissions cap on the oil and gas sector.

Quantification protocol for vent gas reduction : technology innovation and emissions reduction (TIER) regulation

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where methane that is normally vented is capture and either conserved or combusted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The... More ≫

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where methane that is normally vented is capture and either conserved or combusted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The protocol provides a methodology to quantify the greenhouse gas emission reductions from capturing vented methane. Since methane has a much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide this protocol has the potential to enable project developers to achieve significant reductions and generate emission offsets.

Description

This quantification protocol is applicable to the quantification of direct and indirect reductions of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the implementation of two kinds of innovative practices on swine farms. First, the protocol quantifies greenhouse gas reductions achieved by feed substituting practices that decrease emissions. Second, the protocol quantifies reductions associated with pig husbandry practices that increase efficiency by generating less manure per unit of pigs raised.
