MSAPR

The Multi-Sector Air Pollutants Regulations (MSAPR) are Canadian federal rules that require operators to limit harmful air pollutant emissions from key industrial equipment, including large boilers, heaters, and stationary engines. The purpose of these regulations is to protect air quality and ensure consistent environmental performance across sectors such as upstream oil and gas. MSAPR sets performance standards that equipment must meet and outlines how emissions must be measured and reported.

For upstream operators, MSAPR compliance means demonstrating that regulated sources of emissions meet national limits for nitrogen oxides and other pollutants. This typically involves testing and monitoring of engines and other combustion sources to verify performance against regulatory benchmarks. Operators are also required to file detailed reports on emissions performance, verify that testing protocols are followed, and retain records that support compliance with MSAPR reporting requirements.
