Municipal Organics Diversion: Carbon Credits for Carbon Neutral Reporting (2012 Reporting Year)

A table from the "Municipal Organics Diversion: Carbon Credits for Carbon Neutral Reporting (2012 Reporting Year)" report showing the carbon credits earned by each municipality in Metro Vancouver between 2007 and 2012. The GHG reduction credits ("carbon credits") available for the 2012 reporting year are the sum of all eligible credits since the signing of the Charter. City of Vancouver and Delta are signatories to a Tripartite Agreement on Solid Waste with Metro Vancouver, which stipulates that all their waste goes to Vancouver Landfill; therefore their carbon credits are calculated directly using the Organics Diversion Calculator rather than by using the Regional Approach (as described in this report).

A table from the "Municipal Organics Diversion: Carbon Credits for Carbon Neutral Reporting (2012 Reporting Year)" report showing the baseline of organic waste collected by each municipality in Metro Vancouver and the amount from each subsequent year which is eligible for carbon credits by virtue of being over the baseline limit and having been diverted from landfills rather than Waste-to-Energy facilities (pg 8). Baseline was taken in 2006. In 2007, eligible diverted organics are pro-rated to post-Charter (i.e. after September 26th, not the whole year). City of Surrey implemented a new organics collection program on October 1, 2012, so they are reporting only organics collected during the first 9 months of 2012.
