Quantification protocol for vent gas reduction : technology innovation and emissions reduction (TIER) regulation

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where methane that is normally vented is capture and either conserved or combusted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The... More ≫

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where methane that is normally vented is capture and either conserved or combusted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The protocol provides a methodology to quantify the greenhouse gas emission reductions from capturing vented methane. Since methane has a much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide this protocol has the potential to enable project developers to achieve significant reductions and generate emission offsets.

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.
