Description

Written for the biofuel production facility or project developer, this protocol quantifies the emission reductions from the avoidance of fossil fuel consumption when the fossil fuel is replaced by biofuels on an equivalent energy potential basis. The protocol also includes reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to any heat/power production and electricity generation related to the process, and from the avoidance of landfilling any materials which may be diverted for conversion to biofuel. The protocol is not intended to be prescriptive, but instead serve as a generic “recipe” for biofuel facility owners and operators to follow in order to meet measurement, monitoring and GHG quantification requirements.

Description

The purpose of this doucment is to assist offset market participants (protocol developers) wishing to develop quantification protocols for use in the Alberta offset system where the intended final purchaser of offset credits generated is a facility regulated under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. Alberta's offset market was initiated as a market instrument to support compliance under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. The Regulation requires all large, industrial facilities in Alberta emitting over 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year to reduce their emissions intensity by 12 per cent per year from their government approved baseline emission intensity.

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.
