Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : greenhouse gas emissions from large facilities.: En4-144/36-2022E-PDF
"Releases of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and their increasing concentrations in the atmosphere are leading to a changing climate. This change has an impact on the environment, human health and the economy. This indicator tracks GHG emissions from the largest emitting facilities in Canada. The indicator complements the Greenhouse gas emissions indicators and provides information on an important source of Canada's industrial GHG emissions. The latest reporting year (2020) coincides with the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, which deeply affected a wide range of industrial sectors. The results must be interpreted with caution as the pandemic impacted facility operations in 2020 to some extent (for example, temporary shut downs and reduced demand) but other factors also contributed to observed emission changes (such as, lower coal consumption due to fuel switching and production slow-downs)"--Page 4.
