Description

The Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation requires facilities exceeding one megatonne of CO2e to report quarterly and provide annual forecasting of emissions, production, and credit usage. Quarterly reporting improves forecasting for emissions and revenue for budgeting purposes. It also allows for revision of rolling estimations to ensure the best available information is shared with government as soon as possible.

Description

Anaerobic decomposition of organic waste materials in a landfill generates gases that contain approximately 60 per cent methane, a greenhouse gas (GHG). The amount of methane emitted from a landfill can be reduced through the installation of landfill gas capture and combustion technology to convert the methane to carbon dioxide. Combustion with energy recovery further reduces GHG emissions by displacing fossil fuel sourced energy to generate heat and electricity. This document presents the methodology for quantifying methane emission reductions which result from the use of one or both of these methods of reducing methane emissions.

Description

Alberta’s Specified Gas Reporting Programhas collected facility greenhouse gas emissions data since 2003. In 2005 (for 2004 emissions data collection), Alberta harmonized its Specified Gas Reporting Programwith the Government of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program. Since then, Alberta has jointly collected greenhouse gas data from Alberta’s largest industrial emitters with the Government of Canada. Alberta facilities report their emissions data to Environment and Climate Change Canada through the federal reporting program and the results are forwarded to the Alberta Climate Change Office, allowing both provincial and federal reporting requirements to be satisfied.
