Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where CO2 is injected into an enhanced oil recovery scheme and emissions offset project. The opportunity for generating emission offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the capture, transportation and injection and ultimate sequestration of CO2.

Description

Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved through optimally-operated aerobic composting. This quantification protocol sets the parameters for offset projects involving aerobic composting. For the purposes of this protocol, the baseline condition for eligible waste streams is set as anaerobic decomposition in a managed landfill in Alberta. The project condition is a demonstrated diversion of waste from the baseline case of landfilling to an eligible aerobic composting project.

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 document is to assist facilities regulated under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation in completing annual compliance reports and to provide information about the compliance options available to facilities that are unable to meet their emissions reduction targets through facility level improvements. This document should be applied when completing compliance reporting for the 2013 emissions year.

Quantification protocol for distributed renewable energy generation. Version 1.0

Description

Description

This protocol specifically addresses grid connected wind and solar generation projects with a rated electrical capacity of less than 1 MW located at the consumer end of the electric distribution system. Individual projects will yield small volume emissions reductions that cannot be processed as stand-alone offset projects in the Alberta Offset System. The methodology provided in this protocol is for aggregated, distributed renewable electricity projects. Familiarity with and general understanding of distributed energy system operations is required.
