An overview of definitions and methodologies Andrew John East Growcom Purpose of the paper: The purpose of this paper is to define a “carbon footprint” and provide an insight into the terminologies and approaches included within this concept. A number of key issues are addressed in this discussion. Firstly, the origins of the “footprinting concept” are addressed to establish the conceptual history (and baggage) associated with this term. Secondly, existing literature is critiqued to scope the various definitions, highlight distinctions and articulate a preferred definition of a carbon footprint.

Project Team Subject: Public Engagement Survey Results Date: May 3, 2021 Project: Environmental Review Implementation Subcommittee (ERIS) Engagement (Project) 1.0 Introduction As directed by EQB’s 2020-2021 Workplan, and in response to Executive Order 19-37 on climate change, ERIS (a subcommittee of the Environmental Quality Board [EQB]) convened an Interagency Environmental Review Climate Technical Team to advise them on changes to the State Environmental Review Program requirements. Accordingly, the Environmental Review Climate Technical Team developed the DRAFT Recommendations: Integrating Climate Information into MEPA Program Requirements, dated December 2020, (DRAFT Recommendations). The DRAFT Recommendations specified an engagement framework to solicit input from various stakeholders, including the public. EQB contracted with Barr Engineering Co. (Barr) to assist with implementing the engagement process. The engagement consisted of: • Public comment period • Listening sessions • Public survey • Interviews This memorandum summarizes the feedback received through the public survey. A total of 496 survey responses were submitted. Section 2.0 of this memorandum describes the method used to create the survey and targeted outreach. Section 3.0 of this memorandum provides summaries of responses received to each question. 2.0 Survey Implementation Process and Targeted Engagement Barr used the SurveyMonkey platform for conducting the public engagement survey regarding the DRAFT recommendations. Barr and EQB’s technical team collaborated to develop the questions provided in the survey.

  • The Carbon Footprint of Shale Gas Development and the Remedial Measures Necessary to Address It. Anthony R. Ingraffea, Phd, PE
    EB 2012-0451/2012-0433/2013-0074 Exhibit L.EGD.COC.1 The Carbon Footprint of Shale Gas Development and the Remedial Measures Necessary to Address it. Anthony R. Ingraffea, PhD, PE June 26, 2013 Prepared for Ontario Energy Board Proceedings: EB-2012-0451: Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc.; and EB-2012-0433 and EB-2013-0074: Union Gas Limited I have prepared this report at the request of the Council of Canadians for the purpose of introducing certain articles I have co-authored, and follow-up related articles by others, which evaluate the greenhouse gas footprint of natural gas derived from high-volume fracturing from shale formations. In my opinion this work bears upon projections about the cost and availability of natural gas from this source, as well as the priority that should be given to investments in renewable energy and conservation measures. I currently hold the Dwight C. Baum Professorship in Engineering and serve on the faculty of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. My research concentrates on computer simulation and physical testing of complex fracturing processes including hydraulic fracturing. A copy of my Curriculum Vitae is attached as Schedule “A” to this report. I have not reviewed the record of these proceedings, but have been advised by Counsel of the following matters: The applications1 before the Ontario Energy Board (the “Board”) seek approvals, inter alia, for the expansion and restructuring of the natural gas pipeline infrastructure in the Greater Toronto area (the “GTA”). The proponents have identified various benefits they predict to follow from proceeding with their projects, including improving supply chain diversity, reducing upstream supply risks and reducing gas supply costs over the period 2015 to 2025.

This paper provides a qualitative governance analysis of which regulatory options there are to align livestock farming with the legally binding environmental objectives, in particular the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Two innovative governance approaches are developed and compared: a cap-and-trade scheme for animal products and a livestock-to-land ratio. Both instruments are measured against the above-mentioned environmental objectives, taking into account findings from behavioural sciences and typical governance problems. Both approaches are generally suitable as quantity governance in animal husbandry if they are properly designed. In the end, a combination of both approaches proved to be particularly effective ecologically.
