Description

This protocol serves as a generic ‘recipe’ for project proponents to follow in order to meet the measurement, monitoring, and greenhouse gas quantification requirements for reductions resulting from conversion of instrument gas to instrument air in process control systems. A process flow diagram for a typical project using compressed air to provide pressure to instrument controllers. Upon conversion, all methane that would have been vented will be replaced by compressed air.

Description

This protocol provides a default methodology for quantifying carbon offsets through projects that undertake reduced tillage on agricultural land. Theoretically, this protocol can be applied to all land and all agricultural producers across the country; however, more work will need to be done for soil zones outside the prairies with respect to the assurance factor.

Quantification protocol for anaerobic treatment of wastewater projects. Version 1.0

Description

This protocol is applicable to projects that involve the capture and destruction of methane produced from anaerobic wastewater treatment processes and take actions to prevent the venting of biogas... More ≫

Description

This protocol is applicable to projects that involve the capture and destruction of methane produced from anaerobic wastewater treatment processes and take actions to prevent the venting of biogas to the atmosphere. These systems could be installed as retrofits or modifications to existing wastewater treatment operations or implemented at new Greenfield facilities as the best available control technology. The feedstock to the anaerobic digestion system may be untreated industrial wastewater or sludge produced from other wastewater treatment processes at the project site.

Specified gas emitters regulation : technical guidance for completing baseline emissions intensity applications. Version 2.0

Description

This document is intended to assist regulated facilities under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation with the completion of the baseline emissions intensity applications. Greenhouse gas emissions... More ≫

Description

This document is intended to assist regulated facilities under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation with the completion of the baseline emissions intensity applications. Greenhouse gas emissions intensity is regulated on a facility-by-facility basis. Targets are set at the facility and that facility's performance over time is compared against its approved baseline emissions intensity.

Description

This protocol quantifies the emission reductions from the avoidance of fossil fuel consumption, replaced by municipal solid waste on an equivalent energy potential basis. It also specifically includes reductions in GHG emissions due to any heat/power production and electricity generation related to the process, and from the avoidance of landfilling any organic materials which may be diverted for conversion to Biofuel.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the acid gas processing system operator or an acid gas project developer. Some familiarity with, or general understanding of, the operation of an acid gas processing facility is assumed. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arises from the direct and indirect reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the geological sequestration of acid gas streams containing greenhouse gases as part of raw natural gas processing.

Description

This protocol is applicable to the quantification of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the implementation of facilities that convert the energy in solar radiation into electrical energy as the end product. These cover several technologies and will be referred to simply as “solar electric facilities”. The protocol quantifies the emission reductions based on the generation of an equivalent quantity of electricity from fossil fuel based sources, either at grid-connected or off-grid facilities.

Description

This protocol is applicable to the quantification of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the implementation of facilities that convert the potential energy of river flow into low retention, water-powered electricity generation as run-of-river or on an existing reservoir. Henceforth, these facilities will be referred to as ‘run-of-river hydro’ and as ‘existing reservoir hydro’ electricity generation projects, respectively. The protocol quantifies the emission reductions based on the generation of an equivalent quantity of electricity from fossil fuel based sources, either at grid-connected or off-grid facilities. Withdrawn as of March 31, 2020.
