Description

The purpose of this document is to assist persons responsible for facilities that are regulated by, or considering application to be regulated by, the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation. The document outlines the methods for establishing and assigning emissions intensity benchmarks that apply to the production of goods and processes at regulated facilities. It also outlines criteria detailing opt-in eligibility and the application process for opt-in to the regulation. Additional information regarding details on emissions scope and coverage, tightening rate, review periods and the assignment of transition allocation benchmarks is also provided.

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

Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved through optimally-operated aerobic composting. This quantification protocol sets the parameters for offset projects involving aerobic composting. For the purposes of this protocol, the baseline condition for eligible waste streams is set as anaerobic decomposition in a managed landfill in Alberta. The project condition is a demonstrated diversion of waste from the baseline case of landfilling to an eligible aerobic composting project.

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

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.
