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.

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

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 spreadsheet provides a summary of 2015-2017 data reported by facilities subject to the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. The Regulation was passed in 2007 and expired December 31, 2017. Emissions were reported in units of tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents. Each facility was required to reduce its annual emissions intensity by a prescribed percentage target relative to its facility-specific approved baseline emissions intensity.

Description

This document establishes the approved methodology for quantifying greenhouse gas emission reductions from the implementation of energy efficiency activities in eligible areas. This quantification protocol can be used by emission offset project developers to quantify emission reductions resulting from the implementation of energy conservation measures such as changes in process, management practices and/or facility improvements in new and retrofit projects.

Quantification protocol for aerobic landfill bioreactor projects. Version 2.0

Description

This protocol covers landfills or landfill cells which are at capacity, will not be accepting more waste materials and are covered. Rather than the content of these landfills or landfill cells... More ≫

Description

This protocol covers landfills or landfill cells which are at capacity, will not be accepting more waste materials and are covered. Rather than the content of these landfills or landfill cells decomposing anaerobically and producing methane, wells are drilled for the purposes of aerating the waste and recirculating leachate. Conditions are maintained to support aerobic decomposition of the waste. The resulting carbon dioxide emissions are considered as biogenic.
