Description

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere and utilizing it in CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) storage schemes can result in permanent net geological sequestration of CO2. EOR schemes are typically operated with externally-sourced CO2 from industrial processes or power generation that are unrelated to the operation of the EOR scheme. This quantification protocol establishes the methodology for quantifying the eligible greenhouse gas emission reductions through net geological sequestration of CO2 for EOR project activities.

Description

Agricultural activities, including the production of livestock, result in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. This protocol is applicable to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in beef cattle and addresses digestion and manure storage/handling sources of livestock greenhouse gas emissions. The protocol allows users to quantify greenhouse gas reductions using scientifically-valid methodology and emission factors resulting from alterations in feeding strategies and other technologies in backgrounding (in confined feeding) and finishing feedlot stages of beef cattle in Alberta.

Description

This document outlines the requirements for validation, verification and audit under the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) Regulation. TIER is Alberta's industrial greenhouse gas emissions pricing regulation and emissions trading system. Facilities regulated under TIER must reduce emissions to meet facility benchmarks. All facilities are required to submit verified annual compliance reports yearly. Compliance reporting and benchmark applications require third party assurance.

Description

Carbon dioxide is emitted as a by-product in many industrial production processes and as a result of fuel combustion. This CO2 may be captured for other uses or released directly to the atmosphere. Capturing CO2 emissions and transferring them to a geologic storage zone suitable for permanent sequestration results in a permanent reduction in CO2 emissions. This protocol is for quantifying the net geological sequestration of carbon dioxide that meets the requirements set out in Section 19(2) of the Technology, Innovation and Emissions Reduction Regulation.
