Carbon Offset Potential of Agriculture in Alberta

The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development commissioned a study to calculate what the maximum tonnage could be if Alberta farmers and ranchers adopted the current set of agricultural protocols that have been approved by the government of Alberta.  The table below shows the preliminary results of the carbon offsets estimated potential based on associated value at $10 per tonne of CO₂e reduced or removed. 

The assumptions used in each estimating the potential for each protocol are noted at the bottom of the Table.
