Energy and the environment

Direct energy use (terajoules) and direct greenhouse gas emissions (kilotonnes) associated with the natural resources and the downstream natural resources sectors, by sector.

The average age of investment is the weighted age of all investments remaining in the gross stock at year end. The remaining useful life, which is the difference between the average age of the investment spending and their expected service life, is then divided by the expected service life, creating a ratio that indicates the percentage of the asset class that remains.

The economic contribution as a result of the production of infrastructure assets due to investment is presented for valued added (GDP), compensation of employees and number of jobs. Value-added is a key measure of economic performance. It represents the output of an industry minus the value of intermediate inputs that were used up in the production of the goods and services. Within the Infrastructure Economic Accounts, this is the value added due to an industry's production of infrastructure assets. The number of jobs represents the number of jobs held by the self-employed, employees and unpaid family workers. The compensation of employees represents the wages and salaries, and supplementary labour income due to labour inputs for the production of infrastructure assets.

Expansion of the Infrastructure Economic Accounts focusing on the environmental aspect to aid in understanding the relationship between investment in infrastructure and the environment. Main indicators include greenhouse gas emissions as a result of production of infrastructure assets, greenhouse gas emissions per value-added, and clean input proportion.

Infrastructure is the physical structures and systems that support the production of goods and services and their delivery to and consumption by governments, businesses and citizens. The industry undertaking that infrastructure investment is also presented. Accumulating investment flows over time produces an estimate of the stock of infrastructure assets. The perpetual inventory method is used as it estimates a value of the net stock of fixed assets in existence and in the hands of producers which is generally based on estimating how many of the fixed assets installed, as a result of investment undertaken in previous years, have survived to the current period. The depreciation of that stock is calculated using the geometric method with asset specific depreciation profiles.

Quarterly data on zero-emission vehicle registration by fuel type, vehicle type and number of vehicles, Canada, the provinces, census metropolitan areas and census sub-divisions.

The Energy Innovation Program (EIP) advances clean energy technologies that will help Canada maintain a competitive, reliable, and affordable energy system while transitioning to a low-carbon economy. It supports energy research, development & demonstration (RD&D) projects and other science-related activities by investing in the work of federal labs, as well as a wide range of Canadian businesses, utilities, Indigenous communities, and other organizations that are working to develop novel and innovative clean energy technologies, scale up and integrate existing technologies, and support the clean energy ecosystem by sharing information and knowledge.

Intensity of energy use is measured in gigajoules per thousand dollars of production. Intensity of greenhouse gas emissions is measured in tonnes per thousand dollars of production. Industry aggregation is at the L-level of the input-output accounts of Statistics Canada.

Energy use (terajoules), greenhouse gas emissions (kilotonnes), and water use (cubic metres x 1,000) by category of final demand (Personal expenditure, non-profit institutions serving households' consumption expenditure, government net current expenditure, gross fixed capital formation, and international exports).

Annual estimates of capital and operating expenditures on pollution prevention (integrated processes) and pollution abatement and control (end-of-pipe processes) by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and environmental protection activity at the Canada level. The unit of measure is dollars (x1,000,000).

Information on Canada’s crude oil resources, production, markets, and prices.

This reference guide is intended for users of the Survey of Environmental Goods and Services (SEGS). The tables indicate which technologies and services were included in SEGS.

Pipeline Profiles allow users to easily locate information about CER-regulated pipelines to gain meaningful insights. Discover where pipelines are located, what products (and how much) they transport. Learn about recent facility projects and where to find regulatory filings. Examine pipeline tolls and tariffs, abandonment, and financial information. Explore safety and environment information through interactive dashboards. Find links to pipeline companies’ emergency management plans.

Regular energy information updates illustrate emerging trends in various segments of the energy market. They provide topical energy information to Canadians.

This fact sheet presents data on icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. The article covers reported iceberg data collected by the International Iceberg Patrol. It also covers how icebergs interact with ocean ecosystems, and the economic and cultural benefits that they provide in Newfoundland and Labrador.

This report provides the results of a survey of the solar thermal industry in Canada covering the calendar year of 2022 and 2023.

Use this query tool to obtain information on national, provincial and territorial air emission summaries for key air pollutants, heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants from anthropogenic emission sources. Air emissions of these pollutants are available nationally, provincially, territorially from 1990 to present. Air emissions of black carbon are also available from 2013 to present.

Canada’s Air Pollutant Emission Inventory (APEI) has been prepared and published by Environment and Climate Change Canada since 1973. The APEI is a comprehensive inventory of emissions of 17 air pollutants at the national, provincial and territorial levels. This inventory fulfills Canada’s international reporting obligations, supports the development of air quality management strategies, policies and regulations, informs Canadians about pollutants that affect their health and the environment, and provides data for air quality forecasting models.

This report presents the results of the 2024 edition of Canada’s annual inventory of black carbon emissions, 2013–2022.

HEC Montréal, en partenariat avec plusieurs entreprises dans le secteur de l’énergie, a créé une Chaire de gestion du secteur de l’énergie à se pencher sur les enjeux liés à la gestion durable des ressources énergétiques. Destiné tant aux acteurs du milieu qu’à la population, ce bilan annuel rassemble les données les plus récentes et les plus pertinentes sur le secteur de l’énergie. Il propose une rétrospective des faits saillants qui ont marqué la dernière année ainsi qu’un aperçu des dossiers à surveiller pour l’année à venir. La Chaire de gestion du secteur de l’énergie y intègre également un outil novateur qui permet de visualiser l’ensemble du système énergétique québécois et d’en évaluer l’efficacité. La réalisation du rapport a été rendue possible grâce au soutien financier du gouvernement du Québec.
