(NGTL) System Expansion Project. On April 18, 2016, CAPP submitted comments to ECCC’s draft methodology for assessing the upstream GHG emissions from projects undergoing federal assessments, which was published to the Canada Gazette Notice Part 1 on March 19, 2016. We note that the NGTL System Expansion Project’s upstream GHG assessment recognizes the evolving and leading nature of climate policies in Canada, which will result in further emissions reductions from domestic upstream oil and gas production. This project’s upstream GHG estimates found in this draft report were made using Part A of ECCC’s methodology. ECCC ...

(NGTL) 2017 System Expansion Upstream Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimates Draft for Public Comments Thank you for your notification of the upstream greenhouse gas emissions estimate for the NGTL 2017 System Expansion that was posted for public comment on June 1, 2016. I am pleased to respond on behalf of the Government of Alberta. The Government of Alberta respectfully recommends Environment and Climate Change Canada consider incremental emissions associated with the NGTL 2017 System Expansion to be zero or negligible. Alberta’s position is based on declining natural gas production forecasts for the province and effects within the NGTL system. Multiple recent forecasts predict declining natural gas production in Alberta between 2016 and 2030. These forecasts include:  The National Energy Board of Canada’s Energy Future 2016: Province and Territory Outlooks (reference, low price, no liquefied natural gas, and high liquefied natural gas scenarios),  The Alberta Energy Regulator’s ST-98-2016 Alberta’s Energy Reserves 2015 & Supply/Demand Outlook 2016-2025, and  The Government of Alberta’s 2016 budget. Despite incremental capacity offered by the NGTL System Expansion, declining natural gas production is forecast to continue in Alberta. Within the NGTL system, the incremental capacity for the NGTL 2017 System ...
