Description

Alberta’s Specified Gas Reporting Program has collected facility greenhouse gas emissions data since 2003, and is a core component of Alberta’s 2008 Climate Change Strategy. In 2005 (for 2004 emissions data collection), Alberta harmonized its Specified Gas Reporting Program with the Government of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program. Since then, Alberta has jointly collected greenhouse gas data from Alberta’s largest industrial emitters with the Government of Canada. Alberta facilities report their emissions data to Environment Canada through the federal reporting program and the results are forwarded to Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, allowing both provincial and federal reporting requirements to be satisfied. To improve the value of data collected through the reporting program, and to further enhance the synergy with the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, in 2010 Alberta lowered the emissions threshold level for mandatory reporting from...

Description

In 2002, Alberta signaled its commitment to manage climate change and greenhouse gas emissions in the province by passing the Climate Change and Emissions Management Act. One of the first actions taken under the new legislation was to develop a mandatory reporting program for large industrial emitters in Alberta. Beginning in 2004, large industrial emitters in the province were required to submit an annual report on their previous year’s greenhouse gas emissions. The province has now collected data for six consecutive reporting periods, including the 2009 emissions year.
