Description

Reductions in methane emissions can be achieved through optimally-operated aerobic composting. This quantification protocol sets the parameters for offset projects involving aerobic composting. The baseline condition for this protocol is the disposal of eligible waste in a Class II municipal solid waste landfill.

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.

Description

Agricultural activities, including the production of livestock, result in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Beef cattle, in particular, release methane (CH4) as a result of the digestion of feed materials in the rumen. These emissions are called enteric emissions and are a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural activities. Methane and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are also generated from manure storage and handling within beef cattle operations. These emissions are called manure emissions. This protocol for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in fed cattle addresses digestion and manure storage/handling sources of livestock greenhouse gas emissions. The protocol allows users to quantify greenhouse gas reductions using scientifically valid methodology and emission factors resulting from alterations in feeding strategies and other technologies in the finishing stages of beef cattle at feedlots in Alberta.

Description

Anaerobic decomposition of organic waste materials in a landfill generates gases that contain approximately 60 per cent methane, a greenhouse gas (GHG). The amount of methane emitted from a landfill can be reduced through the installation of landfill gas capture and combustion technology to convert the methane to carbon dioxide. Combustion with energy recovery further reduces GHG emissions by displacing fossil fuel sourced energy to generate heat and electricity. This document presents the methodology for quantifying methane emission reductions which result from the use of one or both of these methods of reducing methane emissions.
