Description

This protocol is effective January 1, 2023 and must be used to quantify emission offsets generated in the 2023 vintage going forward. This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where natural gas is used to provide pneumatic power for automated process control and operational devices. Devices include pressure controllers, temperature controllers, transducers, liquid level controllers, flow rate regulators and chemical pumps. The opportunity for generating emission offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the conversion of instrument gas to instrument air in process control systems, conversion of pumps, and vent gas capture.

Quantification protocol for agricultural nitrous oxide emission reductions. Version 2.x

The scope of this protocol is limited to on-farm reductions of emissions from nitrogen sources and fuel use associated with the management of synthetic fertilizer, manure fertilizer and crop... More ≫

Description

The scope of this protocol is limited to on-farm reductions of emissions from nitrogen sources and fuel use associated with the management of synthetic fertilizer, manure fertilizer and crop residues. Greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions associated with carbon sequestration in the soil and off-site emission reductions affected by the manufacture and distribution of nitrogen fertilizers are excluded from the protocol. The exclusion of off-site reductions of fertilizer manufacturing increases conservativeness in emission reduction calculations and limits the scope of quantification to those sources, sinks and/or reservoirs for which data are readily available.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where CO2 is injected into an enhanced oil recovery scheme and emissions offset project. The opportunity for generating emission offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the capture, transportation and injection and ultimate sequestration of CO2.

Description

This spreadsheet provides a summary of 2015-2017 data reported by facilities subject to the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. The Regulation was passed in 2007 and expired December 31, 2017. Emissions were reported in units of tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents. Each facility was required to reduce its annual emissions intensity by a prescribed percentage target relative to its facility-specific approved baseline emissions intensity.
