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

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.

Quantification protocol for energy generation from the combustion of biomass waste. Version 2.0

Description

This protocol provides requirements for quantifying emissions reductions (offset credits) from the combustion of biomass wastes to generate energy to displace fossil fuel sourced energy and, if... More ≫

Description

This protocol provides requirements for quantifying emissions reductions (offset credits) from the combustion of biomass wastes to generate energy to displace fossil fuel sourced energy and, if applicable, from avoided GHG emissions from changes in disposal practices for the biomass wastes. Familiarity with and general understanding of the operation of biomass energy production is required.

Quantification protocol for distributed renewable energy generation. Version 1.0

Description

This protocol specifically addresses grid connected wind and solar generation projects with a rated electrical capacity of less than 1 MW located at the consumer end of the electric distribution... More ≫

Description

This protocol specifically addresses grid connected wind and solar generation projects with a rated electrical capacity of less than 1 MW located at the consumer end of the electric distribution system. Individual projects will yield small volume emissions reductions that cannot be processed as stand-alone offset projects in the Alberta Offset System. The methodology provided in this protocol is for aggregated, distributed renewable electricity projects. Familiarity with and general understanding of distributed energy system operations is required.
