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 provides specific guidance to stakeholders when assessing the additionality of a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or sequestration of GHGs under the Alberta emission offset system. In order to demonstrate the additionality of the activities that are included or proposed to be included in the development or revision of an emission offset quantification protocol, the use of the tools contained in this technical guidance is a requirement for both the Alberta Climate Change Office and stakeholders. This document explains both the roles each of these parties play, and the process used for reviewing and assessing additionality during protocol development or revision.

Description

Environmental assessment registry documents pertaining to the proposed Shell Canada Limited Quest Carbon Capture & Storage Project. The proposal involves capture, transport and storage of CO2, however provincial EIA is only required for the storage component of the proposed project. 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 per year would be captured and transported by pipeline to injections wells 2km below surface in Basal Cambrian Sands. The approximate location of the storage area is in the County of Thorhild. The EIA was deemed complete in 2011. For more information on the environmental assessment process visit ea.alberta.ca.
