Description

In December 2023, the Government of Canada announced plans to implement a national cap-and-trade system to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the oil and gas sector to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. This report, prepared by the Conference Board of Canada and presented to Alberta Treasury Board and Finance, estimates the potential economic impact of a greenhouse gas emissions cap on the oil and gas sector.

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

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.
