Alberta’s Cost-Effective Methane Emissions Reduction

SLIDE 3

Target:

45% methane emissions reduction by 2025 from 2014 levels

Objective:

To take action on greenhouse gas to support environmental protection, natural resource jobs and ensuring lowest compliance cost to Alberta’s upstream oil and gas sector.

Means: Methane Emissions Reduction Regulation (MERR)

Incorporates relevant provisions of D060 and D017,
Written under EPEA and allows for penalty provisions and a

resident’s right to request an investigation of an alleged offence.

Comes into force January 1, 2020.

Alberta’s Methane Emissions Reduction Regulation

SLIDE 4

Alberta is currently exploring opportunities to

mitigate the impacts of dual regulations.

Alberta recognizes the significant contributions
f industry and technology experts to support

innovation:

Providing verified methane emissions data

and information (e.g., OneStop)

Adoption of technology and execution of field

trials supporting innovation

Continued collaboration to achieve

excellence.

Alberta Approach

SLIDE 5

Alberta Offset System – 3 oil & gas methane –

specific protocols.

Technology Innovation Emission Reduction (TIER) –

incents methane reductions at larger facilities.

TIER oil & gas opt-in only includes stationary

combustion.

Other policies and programs are under review to

support our new approach.
