Description

Monthly notice of Crown Timber and Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta (FRIAA) dues for timber that is used to make lumber, pulp or roundwood timber products. Timber dues, Crown charges (stumpage fees) and other fees associated with timber dispositions are collected by the province to ensure that Albertans receive fair compensation for the use of publicly-owned forest resources. The timber dues rates applied are based on the current market prices of forest products. The tables used to determine the general rate of timber dues are adjusted periodically to reflect changes to current market conditions, and in the case of deciduous timber used to make pulp, indexed annually to account for inflation. The tables are located in Schedules 3-7 of the Timber Management Regulation.

GHG emissions from oil sands tailing ponds : overview and modelling based on fermentable substrates

Description

Extraction and upgrading/refining of mined bitumen are energy intensive operations that require significant fuel consumption resulting in emissions of greenhouse gases. The less understood part of GHG emissions from surface mining operations is methane and carbon dioxide production from fluid tailings ponds. Part I of this paper explains past, current and future practices that affect greenhouse gas emissions from tailings ponds and presents a few facts that contrast with assumptions commonly made in literature regarding fugitive emissions from oil sands mines. Part II of the paper then proposes a Base GHG Model for calculating future greenhouse gas emissions. This modelling effort presents a different approach to calculate greenhouse gas emissions from ponds based on fermentable substrates with a focus on diluent, which has been shown to be the most bioavailable part of tailings. Different scenarios based on the Base GHG Model show potential pathways toward lowering the Alberta...
