Guideline for greenhouse gas emissions reporting, February 2012

Description: 

Section 4(1) of Ontario Regulation 452/09—Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting—requires the use of standard quantification methods for quantification of greenhouse gas emissions from each of the sources specified in section 2 of the regulation. These standard quantification methods are set out in section 4 of this guideline.

Some of the standard quantification methods in this guideline provide two or more options for calculation, sampling, analysis and measurement procedures depending on the type of fuels and other material used in industrial processes.

Section 4(6)(a) of the regulation also provides for the use of best alternative quantification methods for reports submitted in 2011 on 2010 greenhouse gas emissions.

Section 3 of the guideline sets out these best alternative quantification methods.

Section 5 of the guideline provides a listing of the technical reference documents referred to within the standard quantification methods.

This guideline, dated February 2012, supersedes the version of the guideline dated December 2010.
