Climate change policy in Alberta /

10 Jul 2014

Alberta currently regulates greenhouse gas emissions for large industrial facilities through an intensity-based approach. Since 2007, Alberta has required major industrial facilities to reduce their "emissions intensity" (i.e. emissions per unit of production) by up to 12 per cent, relative to their typical performance or "baseline" level. Generally, this can be achieved by either increasing production, without creating additional emissions, or reducing emissions without reducing production.
