Description

The Renewable Energy Risk Framework is designed to provide renewable energy operators transparency as to how risks to wildlife or wildlife habitat is determined when using the Wildlife Directive for Alberta Wind Energy Projects and the Wildlife Directive for Alberta Solar Energy Projects. The Framework can also be used as a tool to assist with project pre-planning to help minimize impacts to wildlife and wildlife habitat through project siting and other considerations.

Description

The report includes a comprehensive view of all major energy resources in Alberta and the pathways that are used to create basic energy commodities used in Alberta, namely, heat, electricity and transportation fuels. A broad span of consistent metrics are used to assess each resource, making it possible to understand energy availability, energy density, and the environmental impact of a wide range of energy resources and pathways in Alberta.

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the electric facility project operator or project proponent. Some familiarity with, or general understanding of, the operation of a wind electric facility, and associated practices, is expected. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arise from the quantification of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the implementation of facilities that convert the energy in wind into electrical energy as the end product. These opportunities cover several technologies and will be referred to simply as “wind electric facilities” The protocol quantifies the emission reductions based on the generation of an equivalent quantity of electricity from fossil fuel based sources, either at grid-connected or off-grid facilities.
