Description

This quantification protocol is applicable to the quantification of direct and indirect reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the implementation of streamlined waste heat recovery projects. The protocol quantifies the emission reductions from the avoidance of fossil fuel consumption resulting from the capture and utilization of heat that is currently being wasted. The waste heat recovery may be transferred into the project site where it is utilized, or may be recovered and used within the project site.

Description

This protocol serves as a generic "recipe" for proponents to follow in order to meet the measurement, monitoring and greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification requirements for afforestation projects. An afforestation project will achieve GHG reductions/removals through the increase in carbon stocks on the project site as a result of the growth of trees. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arises mainly from carbon sequestration from planting trees on land not traditionally forested, such as agricultural land, urban land, agro-forestry operations and perhaps rehabilitation of industrial lands.

Quantification protocol for landfill gas capture and combustion. Version 1

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... More ≫

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.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for those familiar with process change and energy efficiency projects. Some familiarity with, or general understanding of, the operation of these practices and processes is expected. It should be noted that while this protocol is mainly targeted at farm operations, some procedures in this protocol may be transferable to other types of energy efficiency projects, there could be considerable differences which would lead to inaccuracy in the quantification of the GHG emission reductions.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for those familiar with anaerobic digester projects. Some familiarity with, or general understanding of, the operation of these projects is expected. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arises primarily from the indirect reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from displacing fossil fuel based electricity, thermal energy or natural gas in gas transmission systems with the biogas from the anaerobic digestion of materials (primarily agricultural materials such as manure, silage, dead animal stocks, etc). There is a small opportunity to generate direct offsets from direct combustion or diversion of waste from landfills, if the full flexibility of the protocol is employed.

Description

The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arises from the direct and indirect reductions of greenhouse gas emissions by offsetting fossil-fuel derived energy through the generation of heat, power and/or electricity from biomass combustion facilities and potentially combusting material that otherwise would have undergone anaerobic decomposition in a stockpile, storage or landfill. It is written for the energy from biomass project developer; some familiarity with, or general understanding of, generating energy from biomass is expected.
