Quantification protocol for greenhouse gas emission reductions from pneumatic devices. Version 2.x

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where natural gas is used to provide pneumatic power for automated process control and operational devices. Devices that may be... More ≫

Description

This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where natural gas is used to provide pneumatic power for automated process control and operational devices. Devices that may be powered by natural gas include pressure controllers, temperature controllers, transducers, liquid level controllers, flow rate regulators and chemical pumps. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the conversion of instrument gas to instrument air in process control systems.

Quantification protocol for enhanced oil recovery. Version 2

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... More ≫

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.

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

The Government of Alberta is proposing to replace the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (CCIR) with a Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system for Alberta’s large industrial emitters, with a target effective date of Jan. 1, 2020. This document is intended to assist discussion around the options for development, transition and implementation of the TIER system. It outlines principles to guide the development and implementation of the TIER system, principles to guide the engagement process, and the engagement approach and scope.

Description

The purpose of this document is to assist persons responsible for facilities that are regulated by, or considering application to be regulated by, the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation. The document outlines the methods for establishing and assigning emissions intensity benchmarks that apply to the production of goods and processes at regulated facilities. It also outlines criteria detailing opt-in eligibility and the application process for opt-in to the regulation. Additional information regarding details on emissions scope and coverage, tightening rate, review periods and the assignment of transition allocation benchmarks is also provided.
