1.
Intensity of energy use is measured in gigajoules per thousand dollars of production. Constant dollar intensity measures are presented as an index, 1990=100; based on gigajoules per thousand chained fisher constant dollars of production. The constant dollar intensity should be used for trend analysis for a given industry.
2.
Intensity of greenhouse gas emissions is measured in tonnes per thousand dollars of production. Constant dollar intensity measures are presented as an index, 1990=100; based on tonnes per thousand chained fisher constant dollars of production. The constant dollar intensity should be used for trend analysis for a given industry.
3.
Emission sources included in these estimates: combustion of fossil fuels; non-combustion uses of fossil fuels; industrial processes; agricultural soils; livestock manure and enteric fermentation. Emissions from waste management are excluded.
4.
Carbon dioxide equivalent emissions are estimated using global warming potentials for methane and nitrous oxide of 21 and 310 respectively.
Note(s):
Industries in the primary sector produce the raw materials employed in the economy. Industries in the secondary sector carry out activities that produce physical goods from raw materials, and industries in the tertiary sector carry out activities related to the provision of services. Industry aggregation is at the L-level of the input-output accounts of Statistics Canada. The input-output tables are built around three classification systems, namely the Input-Output Industry Classification (IOIC) for industries, the Input-Output Commodity Classification (IOCC) for commodities and the Input-Output Final Demand Classification (IOFDC) for final demand. Each classification has four level of hierarchy, consisting of the 'W' (working) level, the 'L' (historical-link) level, the 'M' (medium) level and the 'S' (small) level. The Input-Output Industry Classification (IOIC) is based on the industrial standard of the day, which is currently the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 2002. The IOIC uses a coding scheme that resembles NAICS, but is modified to reflect the hierarchical structure and organization of the IOIC. The NAICS definition of the IOIC classes as well as its hierarchical structure can be found in 'Input-Output Classification' at the following link: /imdb-bmdi/1401-eng.htm. The hierarchical structure of the Input-Output Commodity Classification (IOCC) and the Input-Output Final Demand Classification (IOFDC) can be found at the same link.
