Quantification protocol for agricultural nitrous oxide emission reductions. Version 2.x

Description

The scope of this protocol is limited to on-farm reductions of emissions from nitrogen sources and fuel use associated with the management of synthetic fertilizer, manure fertilizer and crop residues. Greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions associated with carbon sequestration in the soil and off-site emission reductions affected by the manufacture and distribution of nitrogen fertilizers are excluded from the protocol. The exclusion of off-site reductions of fertilizer manufacturing increases conservativeness in emission reduction calculations and limits the scope of quantification to those sources, sinks and/or reservoirs for which data are readily available.

Quantification protocol for greenhouse gas emission reductions from pneumatic devices. Version 2.x

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where natural gas is used to provide pneumatic power for automated process control and operational devices. Devices that may be... More ≫

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where natural gas is used to provide pneumatic power for automated process control and operational devices. Devices that may be powered by natural gas include pressure controllers, temperature controllers, transducers, liquid level controllers, flow rate regulators and chemical pumps. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the conversion of instrument gas to instrument air in process control systems.

Description

Compliance with the Alberta zoo standards ensure that facilities requiring an Alberta zoo permit meet acceptable standards that provide a suitable environment for the animal collections and visitors and an environment that emphasizes education. Where off-site display occurs, the standards ensure that there is minimum risk to surrounding free-ranging wildlife, domestic animals and people, and in some cases provide an opportunity for scientific research and animal propagation to support wildlife conservation programs.

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.

Description

This document is a standard operating procedure for measuring Sulphur Dioxide concentration in ambient air environment. The use of the ultraviolet fluorescence SO2 analyzers technology for measuring ambient SO2 is the basis of this SOP. Staff from Alberta Environment and Parks, Airsheds and other organizations across Alberta monitoring SO2 concentration under the Joint Canada-Alberta Implementation Plan for Oil Sands Monitoring will benefit from this SOP. The SOP also ensures consistency and comparability of SO2 data collected across monitoring programs across Alberta. Future revisions to this SOP will reflect any technology updates.
