2nd Round Technical Review
C3 facilitated the Government of Alberta Offset System 2nd Round Stakeholder Review that occurred on October 29th and 30th, 2009 in Edmonton, Alberta for the 5th Cycle of Protocol Development. The protocol review was well attended by various stakeholders. Presentations for each draft protocol were given outlining development with technical considerations and Alberta Offset System criteria.
Below you will find a listing of all presentations given at the workshop, agenda, participant list, and record of discussion for the two-day review.

Third Round Public Review
Additional Review Period for the Nitrous Oxide Emissions Reductions from Farm Operations Protocol
C3, on behalf of the Government of Alberta, is pleased to announce the beginning of an additional Public Review Period for the Nitrous Oxide Emissions Reductions from Farm Operations Protocol.
Following the initial 3rd round review period in early 2010, additional work was conducted on this protocol including several technical working group meetings to discuss submitted comments and questions, and follow-up meetings with Alberta Environment to discuss modifications made to the draft protocol.
Public comments are an important aspect of the protocol development process for the Alberta Offset System, and an opportunity for everyone to give feedback and help shape Alberta Quantification Protocols.
Written public comments are due by Monday, August 16, 2010, 5:00PM MST
The revised draft Quantification Protocol is available HERE in public comment form, while other versions are still available within the Alberta Protocol Review Process section.
Written comments* are requested by 5:00PM MST, August 16th, 2010, to protocolcomments@c-3.ca.
