Quantification protocol for engine fuel management and vent gas capture. Version 2.0

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas reductions that result from two related activities: the improvement in the fuel efficiency of natural gas combustion engines, and the capture of gases... More ≫

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas reductions that result from two related activities: the improvement in the fuel efficiency of natural gas combustion engines, and the capture of gases (primarily methane) normally vented to the atmosphere. The quantification approaches for measuring GHG reductions for both components are based on measurement and monitoring and thus provide a high level of accuracy. The protocol is written for those familiar with the operation of natural gas combustion engines and control systems that manage the fuel consumption for these engines.

Description

To encourage Albertans to reduce carbon pollution from their cars and homes, a carbon levy is charged on all transportation and heating fuels that emit greenhouse gases when burned. The levy provides a financial incentive for families, businesses and communities to become more energy efficient and move away from higher-emission fuels. This resource lists the the underlying source data and methodology that is used to calculate fuel-specific carbon levies.
