Summary

The publication Canada's Emissions Outlook: An Update provides a reference outlook for Canadian energy demand and supply and for greenhouse gas emissions over the next 20 years. Within this framework, the publication describes provincial energy demand projections for the four principal energy-using sectors, that is residential, commercial, industrial and transportation, plus non-combustion energy use and consumption by energy-producing industries. The supply section presents the outlook with respect to:

• oil and natural gas supply;
• electricity generation and the related capacity expansion; and
• coal supply and demand.

Canada's Emissions Outlook: An Update builds upon and replaces the forecast developed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) in Canada's Energy Outlook: 1996-2020, published in April 1997. The report was prepared for the Analysis and Modelling Group - one of sixteen expert committees, called Issue Tables or Groups, that are part of the National Climate Change Process.

The latest edition of this publication is available and can be found at the Web site Canada's Emissions Outlook: An Update.
