Description

Understanding the impacts of climate and CO2 on forest growth has become increasingly important and necessary for sustainable forest management in Alberta and elsewhere. This technical/scientific document describes and demonstrates the fundamental concepts and methodologies associated with developing climate and CO2 sensitive models. It can help practitioners and decision-makers to better understand, adapt and devise climate-and-CO2-smart strategies to respond to the occurring and predicted changes due to climate and CO2.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the acid gas processing system operator or an acid gas project developer. Some familiarity with, or general understanding of, the operation of an acid gas processing facility is assumed. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arises from the direct and indirect reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the geological sequestration of acid gas streams containing greenhouse gases as part of raw natural gas processing.
