Description

The purpose of this document is to assist offset market participants (protocol developers) wishing to develop quantification protocols for use in the Alberta offset system where the intended final purchaser of offset credits generated is a facility regulated under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. Alberta's offset market was initiated as a market instrument to support compliance under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. The Regulation requires all large, industrial facilities in Alberta emitting over 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year to reduce their emissions intensity by 12 per cent per year from their government approved baseline emission intensity.

Description

The scope of the Protocol encompasses the animals, buildings, and land which constitute the biophysical system of a dairy farm. However, because of the complexity of the system, and because of on-going development of other greenhouse gas quantification protocols in Canada, some aspects of the animal/building/land system are simplified or excluded. Withdrawn as of March 31, 2020.

Quantification protocol for nitrous oxide abatement from nitric acid production. Version 1.0

Description

This protocol quantifies reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the installation of a dedicated N2O abatement catalyst inside the ammonia burner of a nitric acid plant. This... More ≫

Description

This protocol quantifies reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the installation of a dedicated N2O abatement catalyst inside the ammonia burner of a nitric acid plant. This protocol applies to projects where the nitrous oxide would otherwise have been released into the atmosphere during the production of nitric acid as it does not have any economic value or toxicity at emission levels typical of nitric acid manufacture.

Quantification protocol for engine fuel management and vent gas capture projects. Version 1.0

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions that result from two related activities: the improvement in the fuel efficiency of natural gas combustion engines, and the capture of gases... More ≫

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas (GHG) 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.

Description

In 2002, Alberta signaled its commitment to manage climate change and greenhouse gas emissions in the province by passing the Climate Change and Emissions Management Act. One of the first actions taken under the new legislation was to develop a mandatory reporting program for large industrial emitters in Alberta. Beginning in 2004, large industrial emitters in the province were required to submit an annual report on their previous year’s greenhouse gas emissions. The province has now collected data for six consecutive reporting periods, including the 2009 emissions year.

Description

This protocol quantifies the emission reductions from the avoidance of fossil fuel consumption, replaced by municipal solid waste on an equivalent energy potential basis. It also specifically includes reductions in GHG emissions due to any heat/power production and electricity generation related to the process, and from the avoidance of landfilling any organic materials which may be diverted for conversion to Biofuel.
