Description

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere and utilizing it in CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) storage schemes can result in permanent net geological sequestration of CO2. EOR schemes are typically operated with externally-sourced CO2 from industrial processes or power generation that are unrelated to the operation of the EOR scheme. This quantification protocol establishes the methodology for quantifying the eligible greenhouse gas emission reductions through net geological sequestration of CO2 for EOR project activities.

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.

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas reductions that result from two related activities: the improvement in the fuel efficiency of natural gas combustion engines, and the capture of gases (primarily methane) normally vented to the atmosphere. The quantification approaches for measuring GHG reductions for both components are based on measurement and monitoring and thus provide a high level of accuracy. The protocol is written for those familiar with the operation of natural gas combustion engines and control systems that manage the fuel consumption for these engines.

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.

Description

The purpose of this document is to assist facilities regulated under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation in completing annual compliance reports and to provide information about the compliance options available to facilities that are unable to meet their emissions reduction targets through facility level improvements. This document should be applied when completing compliance reporting for the 2013 emissions year.

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.
