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.

Description

The purpose of this document is to assist regulated facilities under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation with the completion of Baseline Emissions Intensity Applications. A facility's stated baseline emissions intensity (BEI) value must be representative of the facility's normal operating conditions. If the baseline period is not representative of that facility's standard operating conditions, the Certifying Official must contact Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development to discuss an adjusted baseline period. More information on alternate baseline periods is available in section 3.2 of this guidance document.
