Data on greenhouse gas emissions by major industrial emitters are now available. The survey was conducted by Statistics Canada on behalf of Environment Canada and Alberta Environment.
This survey collected details on emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, as well as emissions of hydrofluorocarbon, perfluorocarbon and sulphur hexafluoride. All facilities that emit more than 100 000 metric tonnes of greenhouse gases a year were required to report. The facilities reported the data online using a secure electronic data reporting system.
Accurate tracking of greenhouse gas emissions contributes to the development, implementation and evaluation of climate change and energy use policies and strategies.
Previous surveys were conducted for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
