Résumé

In this Regulation, “aggregate facility” means a group of 2 or more conventional oil and gas facilities designated as an aggregate facility by the director under section 5; “allowable emissions” means the allowable emissions (i) for a large emitter or opted-in facility, as determined in accordance with section 9, or (ii) for an aggregate facility, as determined in accordance with section 10; “annual forecasting report” means a report under section 16; “benchmark” means the emissions intensity assigned for a product for allocation purposes; “benchmark unit” means the unit of measure of a product for a benchmark; “biomass CO2 emissions” means all emissions of carbon dioxide released from sources located at a facility as a result of the decomposition, fermentation or combustion of biomass; “CO2e tonnes” in respect of a specified gas means the carbon dioxide equivalent tonnes determined in accordance with subsection; “direct emissions” means the quantity of all specified gases released from sources located at a facility, expressed in CO2e tonnes, not including biomass CO2 emissions; and “opted-in facility” means a facility designated as an opted-in facility under section 4. For the purposes of this Regulation, a quantity of a specified gas, expressed in tonnes, is converted into carbon dioxide equivalent tonnes by multiplying that quantity by the global warming potential set out for the specified gas in the Standard for Completing Greenhouse Gas Compliance and Forecasting Reports. Pursuant to section 61 of the Act, the following standards published by the department, as amended or replaced from time to time, are incorporated into and form part of this Regulation: (a) Standard for Completing Greenhouse Gas Compliance and Forecasting Reports; (b) Standard for Developing Benchmarks; (c) Standard for Greenhouse Gas Emission Offset Project Developers; (d) Standard for Validation, Verification and Audit. If a facility, other than an opted-in facility or an aggregate facility, begins to have direct emissions of 100 000 CO2e tonnes or more in 2019 or a subsequent year, this Regulation does not apply to the facility until the year after the year in which the facility begins to have direct emissions of 100 000 CO2e tonnes or more. The Regulation contains calculation formulae for allowable emissions.
