Description

This document outlines the requirements for validation, verification and audit under the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) Regulation. TIER is Alberta's industrial greenhouse gas emissions pricing regulation and emissions trading system. Facilities regulated under TIER must reduce emissions to meet facility benchmarks. All facilities are required to submit verified annual compliance reports yearly. Compliance reporting and benchmark applications require third party assurance.

Description

Alberta’s Specified Gas Reporting Program has collected facility greenhouse gas emissions data since 2003, and is a core component of Alberta’s 2008 Climate Change Strategy. In 2005 (for 2004 emissions data collection), Alberta harmonized its Specified Gas Reporting Program with the Government of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program. Since then, Alberta has jointly collected greenhouse gas data from Alberta’s largest industrial emitters with the Government of Canada. Alberta facilities report their emissions data to Environment Canada through the federal reporting program and the results are forwarded to Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, allowing both provincial and federal reporting requirements to be satisfied. To improve the value of data collected through the reporting program, and to further enhance the synergy with the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, in 2010 Alberta lowered the emissions threshold level for mandatory reporting from...

Description

In 2002, Alberta signaled its commitment to manage climate change and greenhouse gas emissions in the province by passing the Climate Change and Emissions Management Act. One of the first actions taken under the new legislation was to develop a mandatory reporting program for large industrial emitters in Alberta. Beginning in 2004, large industrial emitters in the province were required to submit an annual report on their previous year’s greenhouse gas emissions. The province has now collected data for six consecutive reporting periods, including the 2009 emissions year.

Description

The specified gas reporting program was developed as part of the Government of Alberta's climate change action plan, Albertans and Climate Change: Taking Action, released in October 2002. The Climate Change and Emissions Management Act defines a specified gas as any gas that traps heat near the earth’s surface. Specified gases include the following greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride. For the purpose of clarity specified gases will be referred to as greenhouse gases in this report.
