The list of activities below is identified under the Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Quantification, Reporting, and Verification regulation. If you engage in activities outlined in this list and meet or exceed any applicable reporting thresholds, you must use the standard quantification method listed.
If you engage in activities outlined above and meet the reporting threshold, you must submit a report every year by June 1 for the previous year. See: Greenhouse gas emissions reporting by facility for a dataset that summarizes reports submitted to the ministry in prior years. This system allows you to submit, view and update your information using Environment and Climate Change Canada applications.
Read the Emissions performance standards program for more information. Verification is a systematic, independent and transparent process for evaluating the information contained in the report. This process is undertaken by an independent, third-party accredited verification body AVB using internationally recognized standards. See: O. Accredited verification bodies are accredited by a member of the International Accreditation Forum.
For lists of accredited verification bodies in North America, visit:. Once your report has been verified, you must submit the verification statement and verification report you get from the accredited verification body by September 1 for the previous year. There are too many other differences to fully summarize in one short article, stay posted for our full guide to the GHG reporting requirements in B.
There is, however, a key difference in the way carbon dioxide emissions from biomass materials are treated, in addition to the inclusion of carbon offset credits in the provincial greenhouse gas reporting regulations. Unlike the federal regulations, Alberta requires that reporters include carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of biomass materials in their threshold calculations when determining if they are required to report.
Albertan regulation defines biomass materials as organic matter, other than separated organics, that is available on a renewable basis and that is derived from plant, animal, or micro-organism. Alberta also includes carbon offset credits from eligible projects in final reported greenhouse gases GHG reports. These differences can have a huge impact when it comes to determining if you are required to submit a report or not. Facilities that are nowhere near needing to complete a federal GHGRP report may have to complete an Ontario report based on the lower threshold or through the inclusion of new GHGs.
It cannot be taken for granted that your federal reporting obligations are an accurate reflection of your provincial responsibilities. On the plus side, the IEA found emissions per barrel of oilsands crude have decreased by 20 per cent in the last decade from technical and operational improvements.
That may become important, report notes, as energy investors and buyers look for low-carbon assets and more countries adopt net-zero policies. Further innovation, such carbon capture and storage, could help to turn things around for Canada's oil patch, it says. The Liberals have also said they will place a hard cap on oil and gas emissions from production, but that does not include the burning of the fossil fuels.
In , the IEA released a report that determined to achieve net-zero by , among many steps, investments needed to end in coal mines, oil and gas wells. Thursday's report, however, made no mention of that, which disappointed at least one environmental group. We know that the most important thing we can do is to stop using and producing oil and gas," said Julia Levin, a senior climate and energy program manager at Environmental Defence.
