Version 2.0
Introduction
Version 2.0 of the Quantification Methods for the Output-Based Pricing System Regulations (OBPS QM) applies to the 2026 and future compliance periods until another version is published as per subsection 2(4) of the Output-Based Pricing System Regulations (OBPS Regulations). Version 1.0 of the OBPS QM applies to the 2024 and 2025 compliance periods. Quantification requirements are contained within the appropriate versions of the OBPS Regulations for the 2019 to 2023 compliance periods.
The OBPS QM sets out the methods for quantification to be used when quantifying GHGs, the ratio of heat and the quantity of electricity generated, as required under the OBPS.
How to use the OBPS QM:
- Section 2 provides general quantification rules, including which methods are to be used where there is no prescribed method for an activity.
- Section 3 provides specific quantification rules, including carbon capture and storage and continuous emissions monitoring system methods.
- Section 4 provides detailed quantification requirements per industrial sector.
- Production quantification methods remain in Schedule 3 to the OBPS Regulations.

3.4. Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems
For the purposes of the section 25 of the OBPS Regulations, if a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) is used to quantify GHGs, the person responsible for the covered facility must ensure that the system complies with the requirements of the CEMS Protocols.
For the purposes of subsection 45(2) of the OBPS Regulations, for each compliance period during which a person responsible for the covered facility uses a continuous emissions monitoring system, they must comply with the record keeping requirements set out in the CEMS Protocols.
For the purposes of the OBPS Regulations, when the requirements of the CEMS Protocols require any data or records to be kept for at least 3 years, those records must be kept for at least 7 years. This aligns with the record keeping requirements for a person responsible for a covered facility set out in paragraph 187(5) of the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act.
For greater certainty, when a CEMS is used to quantify GHGs at a covered facility, any quantity of GHGs that have not been quantified using the CEMS must be included in the total quantity of GHGs from the covered facility calculated in accordance with subsections 17(2) to (4) or 20(2) to (5) of the OBPS Regulations.
