NPRI (National Pollutant Release Inventory)
The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) is a Canadian regulatory program that requires industrial facilities to report their releases, disposals, and transfers of pollutants into the environment. It serves as a publicly accessible database of pollutant information, helping monitor and track environmental impacts and supporting informed decision-making and policy development related to pollution control and management. It is essential to comply with
GHG (Greenhouse Gas)
Mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions by facilities in Canada. The reporting program aims to track and understand national emissions trends, support policy development, and assess progress toward emission reduction targets. The primary GHG emissions include CO2, CH4, N2O, and fluorinated gases. Facilities exceeding specific emission thresholds are required to report their emissions data annually, providing valuable information for climate change mitigation efforts and the development of effective environmental policies.
Alberta SGRR and ECCC GHG Reporting
The Alberta Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (SGER) is a provincial regulation in Alberta, Canada, that mandates the reporting and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Facilities exceeding certain emission thresholds are required to report their emissions and implement emission reduction strategies. The GHG Reporting program of the ECCC is a federal program that focuses on the collection of GHG emissions data from various facilities across Canada. Both reporting programs are very important in regard to monitoring and managing GHG emissions, emission reduction efforts, and informing environmental policies at the federal and provincial levels.
MSAPR Compliance Option and ECCC Single Window Reporting
Multi-Sector Air Pollutants Regulations (MSAPR) Compliance Option is a regulatory framework in Canada that allows facilities to choose from different compliance options to meet emission reduction targets for air pollutants. These options include emission intensity limits, technology-based standards, and equivalency agreements, providing flexibility for industries to reduce their environmental impact while meeting regulatory requirements. The ECCC Single Window Reporting system is an online platform that facilitates the streamlined reporting of environmental data, including GHG emissions, air pollutant emissions, and other environmental indicators.
Alberta Environment and Parks
AEP AMD AEIR Reporting and Quantification Methodology
Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) Approval Quantification Methodology (AMD) and Air Emissions Inventory Reporting (AEIR) Reporting and Quantification Methodology is a framework used in Alberta, Canada for monitoring, reporting, and quantifying air emissions from industrial facilities. The process assists in assessing the environmental impact of facilities, tracking emission trends, and ensuring compliance with air quality regulations. The methodology provides a standardized approach to accurately quantifying and reporting air emissions supporting decision-making and environmental management.
Alberta Energy Regulator
D060 Annual Methane Emission Report and Methane Reduction Compliance Plan
The D060 Annual Methane Emission Report and Methane Reduction Compliance Plan are initiatives aimed at monitoring and reducing methane emissions. The D060 Annual Methane Emission Report involves the regular reporting of methane emissions from regulated facilities. It helps track the quantity and sources of methane emissions, facilitating effective mitigation strategies. The Methane Reduction Compliance Plan outlines specific measures and targets for reducing methane emissions, ensuring that facilities implement strategies to minimize their environmental impact and contribute to overall methane reduction goals. These initiatives are crucial for addressing methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and mitigating its impact on climate change.
Annual GRI Sustainability Report that Summarizes Production, Energy, and Air Emission Metrics
The Annual GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Sustainability Report is a comprehensive report that provides an overview of an organization's sustainability performance. It focuses on key production, energy consumption, and air emissions metrics. The report presents data and analysis regarding the organization's sustainability efforts, including its environmental impact and progress toward sustainability goals. The report follows the GRI framework, which ensures transparency and accountability in reporting sustainability performance, enabling stakeholders to assess the organization's commitment to environmental responsibility.
Alberta Environment Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA) Approval - Annual NOx Reporting
Under the Alberta Environment Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA) Approval, facilities are required to annually report their nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. This reporting requirement is part of the regulatory framework designed to protect and enhance the environment in Alberta, Canada. The annual NOx reporting helps monitor and assess the extent of NOx emissions from facilities, enabling regulatory authorities to enforce compliance and develop strategies to reduce NOx pollution, which can adversely affect air quality and human health.

British Columbia Energy Regulator (BCER)
British Columbia GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Reporting
The British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission (BCOGC) is a regulatory agency that is responsible for overseeing the exploration, development, production, and reclamation of oil and gas resources in the province. VL Energy provides regulatory compliance reporting to the BCOGC and offers services such as data collection and reporting, preparation of regulatory documentation, compliance monitoring, environmental assessments, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory compliance training. By assisting in the adherence to regulations, these companies contribute to responsible and sustainable development of oil and gas resources, while ensuring environmental protection, public safety, and engagement with local communities and Indigenous groups.
Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment
The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment is a governmental department responsible for overseeing environmental protection and management in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The ministry's role encompasses various areas such as air and water quality, waste management, wildlife conservation, and land stewardship. It develops and implements policies, regulations, and programs to ensure the sustainable management of the province's natural resources and ecosystems.
Saskatchewan GHG Reporting
Saskatchewan GHG reporting refers to reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by companies and organizations operating in Saskatchewan. As part of environmental regulations and climate change initiatives, entities are required to report their GHG emissions to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment. This reporting process involves collecting and documenting data on emissions sources, calculating GHG emissions using approved methodologies, and submitting annual reports to the ministry. Saskatchewan GHG reporting aims to monitor and track the emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, to support efforts in reducing emissions and mitigating climate change impacts in the province.
Ontario Ministry of Environment
The Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Parks is a governmental department in Ontario, Canada, responsible for protecting and conserving the environment and natural resources. The ministry's mandate includes addressing air and water quality issues, climate change, waste management, and biodiversity conservation. It develops policies, regulations, and programs to promote sustainable environmental practices and ensure the well-being of Ontario's ecosystems and communities.
Ontario GHG Reporting
Ontario GHG reporting refers to reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by companies and organizations operating in Ontario. It is a requirement under provincial regulations and climate change initiatives. Entities are obligated to measure and report their GHG emissions to the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Parks. This reporting process involves gathering data on emissions sources, calculating GHG emissions using approved methodologies, and submitting annual reports to the ministry. Ontario GHG reporting plays a crucial role in monitoring and tracking the province's emissions, supporting efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change impacts in Ontario.
