Alberta’s Green House gas offset system is a compliance mechanism for
entities regulated under the province’s mandatory GHG emission
intensity-based regulatory system.
As part of the 2002
Climate Change and Emissions Management Act (CCEMA) the 2007
Specified Gas Emitters Regulation passed by the Alberta
legislature, LFE’s or large final emitters (any facility in the
province that emits more than 100,000 metric tons of CO2e of
GHGs per year) are required to reduce their GHG intensity by 12%
per year. The Regulation, which took effect on July 1, 2007,
represents the first GHG emissions legislation in Canada.
Alberta's current environmental legislation sets out clear rules and
obligations for the protection, enhancement and wise use of the
environment. Alberta Environment works with Albertans to ensure
the quality of our environment is maintained, using an effective
and efficient regulatory framework.
Regulated facilities in Alberta that are not able to meet their reduction obligations through
direct facility improvements may be able to meet their emissions
intensity reduction targets through three compliance mechanisms:
- The purchase or use of Emissions Performance Credits, EPCs.
- By Making contributions to the Climate Change and Emissions
Management Fund, currently at a price of CND 15 per metric ton
of CO2e; or
- Through the purchase of Alberta-based offset credits.
