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.

Description

The purpose of this doucment 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.

Description

The purpose of this document is to assist regulated facilities under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation with the completion of Baseline Emissions Intensity Applications. A facility's stated baseline emissions intensity (BEI) value must be representative of the facility's normal operating conditions. If the baseline period is not representative of that facility's standard operating conditions, the Certifying Official must contact Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development to discuss an adjusted baseline period. More information on alternate baseline periods is available in section 3.2 of this guidance document.
