Description

The Government of Alberta is committed to taking action on climate change. Beginning with its Climate Change Action Plan - Albertans & Climate Change: Taking Action, released in October 2002, the Government of Alberta identified a number of strategies the province would use to address climate change. One of these actions included the development of a mandatory reporting program for large industrial emitters in Alberta. Beginning in November 2004, large industrial emitters in the province were required to submit an annual report on their previous year’s greenhouse gas emissions. The Specified Gas Reporting Program requires any Alberta industrial facility that emits more than 100 kilotonnes (kt) of greenhouse gases, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent, to report their emissions to Alberta Environment through a secure electronic data reporting system. Beginning with 2004 reporting, the Alberta system was harmonized with the National Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.
