Specified Gas Reporting Regulation

Information for industry on reporting requirements under Alberta’s Specified Gas Reporting Regulation (SGRR).

Overview

The SGRR first came into effect in 2004, and requires facilities that emit 10,000 tonnes or more of specified gases to submit annual reports on their emissions.

Regulation

Emissions reporting

Specified Gas Reporting Standard

The Specified Gas Reporting Standard details who is required to report specified gas emissions and how the information is collected. Facilities that are subject to reporting requirements under the SGRR must follow the requirements set out in the Specified Gas Reporting Standard.

Facilities subject to the SGRR report their emissions through the federal government’s Single Window Information Management (SWIM) System.

The reported information is used to inform policy development and for analysis and reporting purposes.

Alberta Greenhouse Gas Quantification Methodologies (AQM)

Quantification methodologies for emissions, production and other reported data are prescribed for facilities that are subject to the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction Regulation and the Specified Gas Reporting Regulation.

The finalized AQM includes the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1 Stationary Fuel Combustion
  • Chapter 2 Flaring
  • Chapter 4 Venting
  • Chapter 5 On-Site Transportation
  • Chapter 8 Industrial Processes
  • Chapter 12 Imports
  • Chapter 13 Production
  • Chapter 14 Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Combustion of Biomass
  • Chapter 15 Aggregate Facilities
  • Chapter 16 Cogeneration Benchmark Calculations
  • Chapter 17 Measurements, Sampling, Analysis and Data Management
  • Appendix A References
  • Appendix B Fuel Properties
  • Appendix C General Calculation Instructions
  • Appendix D Conversion Factors
  • Appendix E Additional Information for the Alberta Gas Processing Index
