Pages : 80
Book Description
This is the sixth annual review of trends in energy use, energy efficiency, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada, using 1990 as the baseline year. Chapter 1 describes the relationship between energy efficiency, secondary energy use, and GHG emissions, as well as the approach & data used to model these relationships. Chapter 2 presents results of the analysis of economy-wide trends in end-use energy, energy efficiency, and emissions. The remaining chapters describe the evolution of energy use & its major determinants along with trends in GHG emissions in the following sectors: residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and agriculture. Appendices include information on data sources and methodology, a reconciliation of data on energy use in this report with Statistics Canada's Quarterly report on energy supply & demand, and a glossary.

Canadian Energy Policy and the Struggle for Sustainable Development
Author: G. Bruce DoernPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 9780802085610
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
In recent years, energy policy has been increasingly linked to concepts of sustainable development. In this timely collection, editor G. Bruce Doern presents an overview of Canadian energy policy, gathering together the top Canadian scholars in the field in an examination of the twenty-year period broadly benchmarked by energy liberalization and free trade in the mid-1980s, and by Canada's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol in 2002. The contributors examine issues including electricity restructuring in the wake of the August 2003 blackout, the implications of the Bush Administration's energy policies, energy security, northern pipelines and Aboriginal energy issues, provincial changes in energy policy, and overall federal-provincial changes in regulatory governance. They also demonstrate that, since per capita energy usage has actually increased in the past several years, sustainable development remains very much a struggle rather than an achievement. When the Kyoto Protocol and its requirements for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are factored in, the Canadian record is especially dubious in basic energy terms. Canadian Energy Policy and the Struggle for Sustainable Development is key to understanding many of the issues in Canada's endeavour to live up to its energy-related environmental responsibilities.
