Description

The Compliance Cost Containment Program provides relief to eligible facilities experiencing economic hardship as a result of compliance cost obligations under the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction Regulation (TIER) (and formerly under the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (CCIR)). This dataset lists the names of regulated organizations and facilities that have received program support in past compliance years, as well as the type(s) of support provided to each facility. Program support types include: Additional Compliance Flexibility – Under CCIR and TIER, the quantity of credits (Alberta-based emissions offset credits and emissions performance credits) an organization may use to comply with the true-up obligation for a regulated facility in any compliance year is limited by a compliance flexibility limit threshold. The additional compliance flexibility provided to designated compliance cost containment facilities removes the threshold for a designated...

Description

This greenhouse gas emissions dataset shows area fugitive emission from tailings ponds and mine face at the oil sands mining facilities in Alberta. The data were reported between 2011 and 2021 under the Technology Innovation and Emission Reduction Regulation and preceding regulations in Alberta. The produced bitumen and the diluent flared/wasted volumes reported in the Alberta Energy Regulator's statistical report ST-39 are included in the dataset for reference.

Description

The purpose of this document is to assist persons responsible for facilities that are regulated by, or considering application to be regulated by, the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation. The document outlines the methods for establishing and assigning emissions intensity benchmarks that apply to the production of goods and processes at regulated facilities. It also outlines criteria detailing opt-in eligibility and the application process for opt-in to the regulation. Additional information regarding details on emissions scope and coverage, tightening rate, review periods and the assignment of transition allocation benchmarks is also provided.

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

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.
