The Sustainable Community

The Sustainable Community brings together more than 820 greenhouse gas reduction micro-projects carried out by several small and medium-sized businesses from various sectors, non-profit organizations and municipalities. It rewards the efforts of these local organizations and encourages them to reduce their carbon footprint. All carbon credits generated by the Sustainable Community micro-projects are validated under VERRA’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) program.

Project Proponent: WILL Solutions

Impact so far: 5.2 million tons of greenhouse gases reduced since 2010.

Choosing to offset with Sustainable Community is:

  • Supporting the GHG reduction efforts of small organizations that emit less than 25,000 tons of GHG per year.
  • Contributing to local and circular economy.
  • Encouraging the energy and ecological transition in Canada.

Carbone boréal

Carbone boréal is both a greenhouse gas offset program, through tree planting, and a research infrastructure led by the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (Qc, Canada). The trees are planted in naturally bare areas of Quebec's boreal forest, where the forest does not regenerate itself. Once planted, the trees are protected from logging and are also used for scientific research projects in collaboration with the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs, in respect of forest ecosystems and biodiversity of the boreal world.

Project proponent: Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC)

Impact so far: more than 1.4 million trees planted, which represents approximately 17,000 tons of GHG sequestered per year.

Choosing to offset with Carbone boréal is:

  • Sequestering carbon emissions through tree planting.
  • Helping reforest and regenerate Canadian boreal forests.
  • Contributing to academic research on forest carbon sequestration.

What is a carbon-credit?

A carbon-credit allows you to cancel the production of 1 tonne of greenhouse gases.

Each carbon-credit sold contributes to the success of projects by SMEs, NPOs, farms, municipalities and schools in Canada.

This means that your action enables local businesses and organizations to further invest in solar panels, geothermal systems, waste recovery and much more.

What is the equivalent of 1 tonne of greenhouse gas?

Annual beef consumption
for 2 people

In Canada, the average annual beef consumption in 2019 was 18.12 kg per person. According to Canada's Food Guide, one serving of meat is equivalent to 75 g, which represents about 5 servings of meat per week per Canadian. According to FAO emission factors, 1 kg of beef is equivalent to 27 kg CO2e. In order to convert kg to tonnes (t), we use the factor 0.001. So, for a household of two, the emissions amount to 1 t CO2eper year» 1 t CO2eper year.

OFFSET MY EMISSIONS

An over 4500 km car journey

The HEC Montreal Chair in Energy Sector Management estimates the average gasoline consumption of the individual car fleet at 9.4 L/100 km, which is similar to a sedan, a mid-size car or as mall SUV. Knowing that the CO2e content of gasoline is 2361.2 g CO2e/L, we obtain an average emission factor of 222 g CO2e per kilometer driven. Therefore, 1 t CO2e is equivalent to 4,504.5 km.

OFFSET MY EMISSIONS

Almost a smartphone lifetime

The entire life cycle of a smartphone is estimated at 60 to 70 kg CO2e. Apple also estimates the carbon footprint of the Iphone 12 at 70 kg CO2e. The average lifetime of a smartphone is about 3 years, so we estimate that an individual will use an average of 20 smartphones during his lifetime. 20 smartphones that emit 70 kg CO2e each are equivalent to 1,400 kg CO2e. To convert kg to tons (t), we use the factor 0.001. The carbon footprint of a lifetime of smartphones for one person is 1.4 t CO2e. 1 t CO2e is therefore equivalent to 15 smartphones.

Sustainable Pricing

The price is based on the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) established by the USEPA and confirmed by Canada's 2020-2030 GHG emissions price floor.

85% to Stakeholders

85% of every dollar collected is returned to stakeholders, i.e. Sustainable Community members and the Boreal Carbon project.

VERRA Certification of Sustainable Community

All Sustainable Community greenhouse gas reductions are verified and validated under the VERRA organization's VCS program. Under the VCS program, microprojects receive unique carbon credits known as Verified Carbon Units (VCUs). Each VCU represents a reduction of one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). VCUs follow a rigorous verification and validation protocol and must meet criteria that ensure their quality. A single VCU is retired when the end user purchases it, ending its life cycle.

Validation and Verification of Carbone boréal

The Carbone boréal project has successfully completed validation (in June 2011) of a new quantification protocol produced by the team - validation overseen by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and a committee of Canadian experts - and verification (in May 2012 and July 2018) by an independent third party (the Bureau de Normalisation du Québec, BNQ), in accordance with ISO 14064, parts 2 and 3.

VOTRE IMPLICATION


En achetant un crédit carbone du projet Communauté Durable, vous participez à des centaines de microprojets à la fois. Découvrez quelques uns de ceux-ci, les objectifs et les personnes qui s'en occupent!

Éco centre de la MRC de Témiscaminque

Détournement des matières résiduelles de l’enfouissement

Les matières résiduelles sont acheminées, triées, récupérées et compostées à l’écocentre de la MRC.

La biomasse urbaine y est récupérée, les matières organiques compostées et le papier et le carton sont triés et récupérés pour envoi  au recyclage.

Le tout assure une meilleure gestion des matières résiduelles et permet par leur détournement de la filière de l’enfouissement une réduction importante des émissions de GES émises sur le territoire de la MRC.

Les serres Desjardins

Conversion énergétique

Les Serres Desjardins est situé à La Baie au Saguenay.

L’entreprise a remplacé l’huile no.2 comme combustible pour le chauffage de ses serres pour un système à l’électricité afin de réduire les émissions de GES liées à l’utilisation des énergies fossiles.

Centre de services scolaire de Kamouraska-Rivière-du-Loup

Conversion énergétique

La diminution des émissions de GES du Centre de services scolaire de Kamouraska-Rivière-du-Loup par la conversion des systèmes de chauffage à l’huile vers des systèmes de géothermie sur 14 bâtiments scolaires.

Réseau de chaleur municipalité de Causapscal

Conversion énergétique

La municipalité de Causapscal est située dans la région du Bas-Saint-Laurent.

La municipalité a implanté un projet de réseau de chaleur à la biomasse forestière reliant 7 bâtiments.

L’objectif principal de ce projet était de remplacer le mazout comme combustible pour le chauffage afin de réduire les émissions de GES.

Ce projet avait aussi pour but de développer l’économie local et stimuler la création d’emploi.

MRC of Témiscamingue’s Ecocentre

Diversion from landfill of residual waste

Residual materials are sent, sorted, recovered and composted at the MRC's Ecocentre, where urban biomass is recovered, organic materials are composted, and paper and cardboard are sorted and recovered to be sent for recycling.

This ensures better management of residual materials and, by diverting them from landfill, allows for a significant reduction in GHG emissions on the MRC's territory.

Heat Network at the Causapscal Municipality

Energy Conversion

The municipality of Causapscal, located in the Lower St. Lawrence region, has implemented a biomass heating network project linking 7 buildings.

The main objective of this project was to replace fuel oil as a heating fuel to reduce GHG emissions. This project also aimed to develop the local economy and stimulate job creation.

The Kamouraska-Rivière-du-Loup School Board

Energy Conversion

The Kamouraska-Rivière-du-Loup School Board reduced the GHG emissions of 14 school buildings by converting oil heating systems to geothermal systems.

Les Serres Desjardins

Energy Conversion

Les Serres Desjardins is located in La Baie in the Saguenay region of Quebec.

The company has replaced fuel oil as heating fuel for its greenhouses with an electric system in order to reduce GHG emissions related to the use of fossil fuels.
