Canada carbon offset protocols

[midard]

The federal government plans to introduce draft regulations for its national greenhouse gas offset system in the next few weeks.

Priority project types for federal offset protocol development

The eight priority project types that have been proposed for the initial phase of protocol development are:
 

1.	Advanced refrigeration systems: replacing or retrofitting refrigeration systems to reduce or avoid the use of fluorinated refrigerants
2.	Aerobic composting of organic waste: decomposition of organic materials that are diverted from landfills so that methane emissions is avoided
3.	Afforestation / Reforestation: planting trees to create new forest, or planting trees on degraded forested land
4.	Anaerobic digestion: decomposition of organic materials in landfills to produce biogas that can be flared or destroyed
5.	Improved forest management: increasing rotation ages, thinning diseased trees, managing competing brush, stocking trees, etc. to enhance carbon storage
6.	Landfill methane management: reducing methane emissions from landfills, which can include methane capture and destruction equipment, bioreactors, etc.
7.	Livestock manure management: conversion of methane produced by livestock manure decomposition to CO2 through flaring or aerobic decomposition
8.	Soil organic carbon: adoption of sustainable agricultural land management activities which enhance soil carbon sequestration and reduce emissions

I was shocked, and a bit dismayed, to read this environmental law insights article and not see a single mention of RNG.  Collect the biogas from organic waste signs and to be flared and destroyed.  Are you kidding me?  This is insane.  Hook the biogas into a Biostream and you have instant RNG to send anywhere the existing natural pipeline can take it.
