Federal offset protocol : landfill methane recovery and destruction.: En4-461/2026E-PDF

"Methane emissions from landfills are generated by the anaerobic decomposition of organic material in the buried waste. The installation of a landfill gas (LFG) recovery system and an eligible destruction device enables the landfill methane to be converted into biogenic carbon dioxide, instead of allowing it to be passively released to the atmosphere. The Landfill Methane Recovery and Destruction federal offset protocol is intended for use by a proponent implementing a project that actively recovers LFG and combusts it in an eligible destruction device to generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions for which federal offset credits may be issued under the Canadian Greenhouse Gas Offset Credit System Regulations (the Regulations). … The proponent must follow the quantification methodology and requirements set out in this protocol, including those to quantify and report GHG emission reductions generated by eligible project activities. The requirements contained in this protocol are part of the Regulations and must be read in conjunction with provisions in the Regulations. This protocol is designed to ensure a project generates GHG emission reductions that are real, additional, quantified, verified, unique and permanent. The protocol is also developed in accordance with the principles of ISO 14064-2:2019 Greenhouse gases – Part 2 – Specification with guidance at the project level for quantification, monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emission reductions or removal enhancements to ensure reported GHG emission reductions generated as a result of implementing a project are relevant, complete, consistent, accurate, transparent, and conservative. …"--Introduction, page 1.
