Canada’s Third National Report on Climate Change

55

INTRODUCTION

Canada’s federal, provincial, and territorialorders of government have been addressing thechallenge of climate change for more than adecade. The cornerstone of earlier efforts wasthe 1995 National Action Program on ClimateChange (NAPCC), a framework designed toaddress the issue in response to Canada’s 1992ratification of the United Nations FrameworkConvention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). TheNAPCC provided for a three-pronged approach:mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,improving our scientific understanding of theissue, and taking action to adapt to potentialclimate change. Under the parameters of theNAPCC, governments have carried out their ownprograms and supported projects by the privatesector and non-governmental organizations(NGOs).

In October 2000, at a Joint Meeting of Energyand Environment Ministers, Canada’s NationalImplementation Strategy on Climate Change(NIS) and First National Climate ChangeBusiness Plan (FNBP) were released. They aresignificant steps forward in addressing climatechange and building upon key overarchingprinciples. The NIS provides a framework (ashared risk management approach) to developstrategies on climate change, while the FNBPoutlines specific initiatives. Business plans willbe updated annually on a three-year basis.

Measures in the Government of Canada’sAction Plan 2000 on Climate Change, acomponent of the broader FNBP, are projectedto reduce Canada’s GHG emissions by about65 Mt annually during the Kyoto Protocol’s2008–2012 commitment period. Action Plan2000, announced in October 2000, provides for$500 million in funding over five years to helpachieve Canada’s emissions target (see Chapter 5for more details on the breakdown). Theprojected reductions would cover about one-thirdof the gap between Canada’s projected emissionsin that year and its Kyoto target (Figure 4.1).Canada’s commitment under the Kyoto Protocolis to reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions to6% below 1990 levels during the 2008–2012commitment period.

As of December 2000, there were a totalof about 665 policies and measures (P&Ms)implemented or planned by federal, provincial,and territorial governments directly related toclimate change, as outlined in A Compendium ofCanadian Initiatives: Taking Action on ClimateChange and in the FNBP. There are also hundredsof other P&Ms at all orders of government thathave an indirect yet positive impact on reducingGHG emission levels.

In Canada, the production and consumptionof energy from fossil fuels are responsible for 80%of anthropogenic GHG emissions. Fossil fuelsplay a critical role in transportation, electricitygeneration, industrial and manufacturingproduction processes, and commercial,residential, and institutional heating, cooling,and ventilation systems. Canada is a leader inpromoting sustainable energy development bothdomestically and internationally and has pursuedthe objectives of improving energy efficiency andmoving toward less carbon-intensive fuels. In itsNovember 2000 report entitled Dealing withClimate Change: Policies and Measures in IEAMember Countries, the International EnergyAgency (IEA) analyzed and compared energy-related P&Ms pertaining to climate change andGHG emissions in IEA member countries. Thisreport indicates that as of 1999 (prior to theOctober 2000 release of Canada’s FNBP andAction Plan 2000 measures), Canada had thehighest number of planned and implementedenergy-related P&Ms among the IEA’s 26 membercountries, with a total of 153 P&Ms (135implemented and 18 planned). These energy-related P&Ms are included in the 665 total.Canada’s energy-related P&Ms cover both sector-specific activity (e.g., transport, electricity,industry) and broader framework policy areas(e.g., fiscal, regulatory, research and development[R&D]).

In addition to the more than 600 planned andimplemented P&Ms highlighted above, many ofthe municipal governments in Canada, of whichthere are over 5 000, have undertaken an array ofclimate change actions at the local level in areassuch as municipal buildings, energy use, landfills,recycling, and forest sink initiatives. TheFederation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) is

considering developing an inventory of theseactions. Canada’s private sector also activelyengages in the climate change issue by registeringwith the Voluntary Challenge and Registry Inc.(VCR) program, 29 a not-for-profit organizationestablished in 1994 to provide, throughleadership, the means for promoting, assessing,and recognizing the effectiveness of thevoluntary approach in addressing climate change.Registered companies must submit an ActionPlan detailing how they intend to reduce theirGHG emissions and must undergo independentreview and public reporting on the progress ofpromised reductions. To date, a total of over 750companies and NGOs, responsible for more than75% of Canada’s GHG emissions, have registeredwith VCR, and over 170 have registered with theQuebec program, ÉcoGESte.

NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGEPROCESS

After the publication of Canada’s Second NationalReport on Climate Change in 1997, Canada’sfederal, provincial, and territorial governmentsinstituted a broad participatory National ClimateChange Process (NCCP). As outlined in Chapter2, Canada’s governing structure and division ofpowers, particularly in relation to implementing

policies on natural resources and theenvironment, necessitate a high degree ofcooperation. The NCCP directly followedupon Canada’s April 1998 signing of the KyotoProtocol.

The Prime Minister, provincial premiers, andterritorial leaders directed their energy andenvironment ministers to examine the impacts,costs, and benefits of implementing the KyotoProtocol, as well as options for addressing climatechange, in advance of a decision on ratification.To achieve these broad goals, the NCCP wasmandated to consult stakeholders, evaluatemitigation and adaptation options, and produce anational strategy. Ministers agreed that the deputyminister–level National Air Issues SteeringCommittee (NAISC) would be responsible formanaging the development of the nationalresponse and providing advice, based on thework of the National Air Issues CoordinatingCommittee — Climate Change (NAICC-CC),which operates at the assistant deputy ministerlevel.

Also key to the process was the establishmentof the Climate Change Secretariat (CCS).The CCS is composed of federal officialssupporting the efforts of the Government ofCanada (federal ministers) and a separate

national group comprising federal, provincial,and territorial officials. The national groupsupports the ongoing work of the NAICC-CCin its policy, analytical, and program developmentactivities and monitors the progress ofintergovernmental initiatives.

In 1998, the NCCP established 16 IssueTables (Working Groups) involving 450 expertsfrom industry, academia, NGOs, and government.These Issue Tables/Working Groups examinedemissions reduction options in the followingareas: transportation, electricity, Kyoto Protocolmechanisms, technology, carbon sinks, credit forearly action, public education and outreach,agriculture and agri-food, the forest sector,buildings, industry, enhanced voluntary action,municipalities, science and adaptation, andtradeable permits.

Each Issue Table produced two papers: aFoundation Paper analyzing the current status ofthe respective sector and issue and an OptionsReport setting out a range of short-, medium-,and long-term options, taking into considerationemissions reduction potential, opportunities and

barriers, implementation time frames,competitiveness implications, and social,economic, environmental, and health costs andbenefits. The work of the Issue Tables/WorkingGroups served as the basis for Canada’s NISand FNBP, copies of which can be found on theNCCP Web site (www.nccp.ca). Figure 4.2 setsout the timeline for Canada’s climate changeactivity.

The work of the Issue Tables/Working Groupswas funded through a portion of the $150 millionthree-year Climate Change Action Fund (CCAF)established in 1998 to build a policy foundationand to initiate early action to address climatechange. The CCAF also funded research intoclimate science, impacts and adaptation,technology early action measures, and publiceducation and outreach. The federal budget ofFebruary 2000 announced the extension of theCCAF until fiscal year 2003–2004.

jurisdictions to address the issue of climatechange and to reduce the uncertainties to theextent possible. The NIS involves:

• taking immediate action to reduce risk and toimprove our understanding of the risksassociated with climate change, as well as ofthe costs and consequences of reducingemissions and adapting to a changingenvironment;

• instituting a national framework that includesindividual and joint action and thatrecognizes jurisdictional flexibility inresponding to unique needs, circumstances,and opportunities;

• adopting a phased approach, which schedulesfuture decisions and allows progressive actionin responding to changing domestic andinternational circumstances and improvedknowledge;

• improving our understanding of thefunctioning of the climate system and thenational and regional climate change impactsas they affect Canada, in order to take actionsto reduce emissions and adapt to a changingenvironment;

• understanding the necessary relationshipbetween international and national strategies;

• developing our understanding of theimplications of various emissions reductionpolicy options, including cross-cutting policyapproaches such as emissions trading beforemaking decisions about targets or moving tothe next phase; and

• establishing an integrated national “businessplanning” process, which will serve as theprimary mechanism for setting clearobjectives, identifying specific actions to beundertaken, identifying further actions forconsideration, and reporting on progress.

The five major themes for Phase One of theNIS are the following:

• enhancing awareness and understanding(focusing on public awareness);

• promoting technology development andinnovation;

• governments leading by example;

• investing in knowledge and building thefoundation (enhancing data collection,inventories, modelling, analytical capacity,and policy development); and

• encouraging action (including sectoral, cross-sectoral, and cross-cutting action).

First National Climate ChangeBusiness Plan and Action Plan 2000(October 2000)The NIS outlines an annual business planningcycle that focuses on the strategic priorities toaddress climate change. The FNBP, as the firstbusiness plan under Phase One of the NIS, buildson more than a decade of action on climatechange by all jurisdictions. The FNBP containsfederal, provincial, and territorial actions toaddress climate change across a number ofsectors. Many of these P&Ms are applicable toa combination of jurisdictions, leading topartnerships and cooperation. The focus of theNCCP will be to coordinate the implementationof these FNBP commitments, conducting ongoingpolicy and analytical work and undertakingfuture business planning. The FNBP will evolveannually, look forward on a three-year basis, andfocus on priority theme areas for the design anddevelopment of concrete P&Ms.

The actions outlined in the FNBP focuson mitigation activities planned or under wayin a number of different sectors, includingelectricity, transport, industry, agriculture,forestry, and buildings (residential andcommercial). Long-term strategies for mitigationinclude reducing energy use in all sectors(conservation, energy efficiency), reducing thecarbon content of the energy mix (achievingcarbon efficiency through fuel switching), thecapture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2)in geological formations, sequestering carbonthrough biological processes (sinks), andreducing non-energy sources of emissions (e.g.,livestock management). The FNBP undertakesthese efforts by outlining various P&Ms builtaround the five major themes outlined above forthe NIS.

The FNBP also sets the strategic directionfor actions related to climate science, impacts,and adaptation. The key areas promoted in the




59

FNBP include P&Ms related to energy efficiency,technology development, strategies foradaptation, public awareness, and continuousreduction in energy and emission intensity.

As part of its contribution to the FNBP, theGovernment of Canada released its five-year,$500 million Action Plan 2000 on ClimateChange. This federal contribution to the FNBPis in addition to previous federal investmentsoutlined in the February 2000 budget, in whichmore than $600 million over five years wascommitted to climate change activities. Since1995, the federal government has spent orcommitted a total of $1.95 billion on initiativesrelated to climate change. (For information onAction Plan 2000, see www.climatechange.gc.ca.)

The provinces and territories have contributeda substantial number of initiatives to the FNBP,but no estimate has been made of the potentialemissions reductions. Some FNBP initiatives mayalso be difficult to measure, as they are laying thegroundwork for future initiatives.

Monitoring and reporting progress are keycomponents of Canada’s national response toclimate change. When Canada’s ministers ofenergy and environment released the FNBPin October 2000, they committed to ongoingmonitoring of progress against the overarchingobjectives and themes set out and to reportingthese findings to stakeholders and the generalpublic. The Progress Report on Canada’s FirstNational Climate Change Business Plan wasreleased in September 2001 (for furtherinformation, see www.nccp.ca). As a signatory tothe UNFCCC, Canada is obligated to periodicallyreport on its national inventory of anthropogenicGHG emissions and the progress of policies andactions to reduce such emissions (see Chapter 3for more details).

A Compendium of CanadianInitiatives: Taking Action on ClimateChange (October 2000)Since 1997, a variety of non-NIS and non-FNBPclimate change measures affecting key sectorshave been implemented, adopted, or proposed.Some key P&Ms outlined in the 1997 report arestill ongoing, such as the VCR.

In October 2000, A Compendium of CanadianInitiatives: Taking Action on Climate Change was

released along with the NIS and FNBP. It isbroken down by key sector under the fivethemes of the NIS and encompasses a widevariety of activity, such as promoting fuelefficiency and alternative energy usage,technological development, and retrofittingbuildings. (For further information, seewww.nccp.ca.)

GHG EMISSIONS REDUCTIONCHALLENGES

Canada’s GHG emissions in 1999 were equivalentto 699 Mt of carbon dioxide. This figure is 15%higher than the 1990 level of 607 Mt and 21.6%higher than Canada’s Kyoto target of 571 Mt (6%below 1990 levels). Canada’s GHG emissions areprojected to be 770 Mt in 2010 in the absenceof new (post-1999) initiatives in Canada. Onthis basis (pre–Action Plan 2000 measures),Canada would face the challenge of reducing itsemissions by 26% by 2010 to achieve its Kyototarget. (See Chapter 5 for more details onprojections.)

As outlined in Chapter 2, Canada facesnumerous inherent challenges in controllinggrowth in secondary energy use and reducingGHG emissions as a result of climate, geography,having an export-oriented economy, andpossessing significant levels of natural resourcesfor production and export. These challenges willlikely be exacerbated by the projected:

• continuing economic growth and increases inconsumer and business activity levels;

• increases in domestic and foreign demand forCanadian oil and natural gas;

• further expansion in global trade;

• ever-increasing requirements for “just-in-time” delivery of commodities for businessesand the resulting trend away from the moreenergy-efficient rail to truck transport;

• move to more energy-intensive economicactivity and components of the Canadianeconomy; and

• increases in population mainly due to highimmigration levels.


The result is likely higher GHG emissionsin future years in areas such as fossil fuelproduction (which represents more than half ofthe projected growth in GHG emissions to 2010— largely a result of export demand), increases inCanadian transportation energy consumption,and, finally, increasing usage of both coal andnatural gas for electricity generation to meetincreasing consumer and business demand.

POLICIES AND MEASURES

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) has stressed the underlying importanceof national circumstances in determining theappropriate mix of P&Ms. 30 Appropriate P&Ms,therefore, reflect the widely differing institutional,social, economic, technical, and natural resourceendowments in individual countries and regions.Based upon the principles and strategic directionsoutlined in the FNBP, and utilizing the fivethemes of the NCCP, key broad-based actionson climate change since Canada’s last NationalReport (1997) are identified below.

The examples provided represent P&Ms onclimate change that Canadian governments eitherhave implemented or are in the process ofimplementing. For a more comprehensive listingof the P&Ms currently planned or adopted bygovernments — and a number of activities andinitiatives by the private sector (VCR/ÉcoGESte)and municipalities (FCM) — see Appendix 1,Table 1 (“Summary of Policies and MeasuresAffecting GHGs by Sector”).

The P&Ms outlined in this Third NationalReport do not include an estimation of GHGreductions. It is expected that as several of theactions in this report (and the FNBP) are fullyimplemented and their results are reported, someestimates of impacts will be provided. However,the interaction of measures, data constraints, andthe difficulty of separating the influence ofindividual policies and measures from that ofother orders of government or other agencies(e.g., electrical and natural gas utilities) do notallow for estimates of GHG reductions on anindividual P&M basis.

Nevertheless, looking at changes in theprincipal factors that influence energy use andrelated GHG emissions in the main sectors of theCanadian economy can provide an understandingof the influence of the various efforts to addressclimate change. The Government of Canada’sOffice of Energy Efficiency (OEE), part of NaturalResources Canada (NRCan), has developedsome notable indicators on changes in energyuse at the secondary level. OEE also provides acomprehensive and detailed presentation ofenergy trends and energy-related GHG emissionsby sector that can be found in Energy EfficiencyTrends in Canada 1990 to 1999 — An Update.This information places Canada among the worldleaders in producing this type of analysis. Table4.1 presents the impacts that the changes inactivity, structure, weather, and energy efficiencyhad on secondary energy use in 1999.

Key conclusions from this analysis indicatethat Canada’s efforts in promoting energyefficiency have played an important role inlimiting the growth in secondary energy use 31

and related GHG emissions compared with whatthey would have been otherwise. As Figure 4.3indicates, overall energy efficiency improved byabout 8% in Canada between 1990 and 1999.Various P&Ms, ranging from promotingtechnological investments and R&D to thedevelopment of standards for industrial andbuilding codes, play an important role in theseefforts.

In the absence of important energy efficiencyimprovements, GHG emissions from secondaryenergy use would have been around 32.2 Mthigher in 1999 than in 1990. From anotherviewpoint, had energy consumption remained at1990 levels — secondary energy use increased12.2% between 1990 and 1999 — GHGemissions would have been about 49 Mt lower in1999 than actual levels owing to energy efficiencyefforts. These energy efficiency achievementsoccurred in the face of Canada’s 24.8% aggregategrowth rate in gross domestic product (GDP)during the same period. (See Chapter 3 formore details.) In addition to GHG emissionsreductions, the improvement in energy efficiencysaved Canadians about $5.7 billion in energy

costs in 1999. Details on the contribution ofenergy efficiency efforts to reductions in GHGemissions in the various sectors of the economyare provided throughout the remainder of thischapter.

The following sections highlight the range ofP&Ms, recently initiated under the five themes ofPhase One of the NIS, that build upon theseenergy and related climate change efforts andsuccesses of the past.

Enhancing Awareness andUnderstanding (EAU)Enhancing awareness and understanding (EAU)measures are focused on:

• building awareness and understanding amongCanadians of climate change, including thescience, impacts, and adaptation andassociated environmental, economic, andsocial issues;

• developing support from Canadians for policychanges and actions that will be required aspart of the NIS; and

• encouraging and motivating Canadians totake personal and corporate action to reduceGHG emissions.

Implementation of EAU activities is primarilythrough a national network of regional centres, orhubs, that will bring together all stakeholders in aprovince or territory to coordinate their publiceducation and outreach activities. A nationaladvisory team will establish baseline publicopinion research against which to measureprogress, develop a “toolkit” of materials foruse by all stakeholders, and provide a nationalclearinghouse whereby individual hubs canshare success stories and lessons learned (seeChapter 9).

Promoting Technology Developmentand InnovationInnovative science and technology is a key policyinstrument. It provides the knowledge base andtechnologies for a sustainable future. TheGovernment of Canada believes that technologywill play a fundamental role in its ability tosuccessfully address the climate change challenge.The investigation, development, and deploymentof a broad range of innovative products andprocesses are essential to reduce the concentrationof GHGs. Canada has a broad range of technology

activities that directly and indirectly address theadaptation to, and mitigation of, climate changein the different regions of the country. Canada’sgoal is the development of a whole range of newtechnologies and the continuous developmentof underpinning scientific and technologicalexpertise.

Federal Government In-House ResearchCapabilityThe federal government is a key contributor toCanada’s efforts to innovate and deploy newtechnologies. The federal government, throughsuch science-based departments as NRCan,Environment Canada, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, undertakes R&D to addressclimate change issues. With its strong scientificcommunity and one-of-a-kind research facilities,the Canadian government is working closelywith the private sector to address climate changethrough the introduction of technologies to themarket or the development of the next generationof climate change technologies. This in-houseresearch capacity is complemented by a numberof funding programs, outlined below.

Technology Early Action Measures (TEAM)Technology Early Action Measures (TEAM)was established in 1998 as part of the federal

government’s CCAF initiatives. TEAM is a highlycoordinated $60 million federal government–ledprogram that to year 2000 has leveraged around$600 million to support investments in cost-effective technology projects that are designed tolead to significant reductions in GHG emissions.In this process:

• TEAM serves as one of the primary tools forimplementing federal climate change policy.It provides for cost-effective public–privatepartnership and takes the unique approachof incremental financing and extensivenetworking.

• TEAM has brought together partnerswithin the industry, in communities, andinternationally to encourage additionalinvestment and accelerated development ofinnovative technology across all sectors of theeconomy.

• As of December 2000, 50 domestic and 17international partnerships have been approvedunder TEAM, for a total investment of$700 million. These leveraged investmentshave been accomplished on the strength ofa $60 million investment by TEAM and$59 million from federal delivery programs

that have redirected some of their effortstoward GHG mitigation technology.TEAM’s community projects have attracted$232 million in new technology investmentby municipalities, Aboriginal communities,and industry. A further $150 million offoreign government and private sectorinvestment in international projects hasprovided opportunities for Canadiancompanies. Private industry has committed$200 million to GHG mitigation technologydevelopment under TEAM industry projects.

• TEAM has been extended until March 31,2004.

Climate Change Technology and InnovationProgram (Federal–Provincial)This initiative aims at accelerating thedevelopment of cost-effective GHG mitigationtechnologies in multiple sectors, buildingthe intellectual foundation for long-termtechnological advances, and building alliancesand partnerships to help plan and advance theR&D. The program consists of interrelated short-and long-term measures: (i) discovery, researchand development, to find and develop new andfundamentally different technology concepts;(ii) fostering a collaborative approach, to developnetworks and technology roadmapping; and(iii) technology marketing, to support the businessenvironment for innovation.

Sustainable Development Technology Fund(Government of Canada)This initiative focuses on the development anddemonstration of climate change and clean airtechnologies. It complements other research andgovernment efforts in technological innovation,such as those by the National Research Council(NRC), Natural Sciences and EngineeringResearch Council (NSERC), Program of EnergyResearch and Development (PERD), IndustrialResearch Assistance Program, TechnologyPartnerships Canada, and TEAM.

Program of Energy Research andDevelopment (PERD) (Governmentof Canada)For 20 years, PERD has played a strategicR&D role in economically and environmentallysustainable energy technologies. Thisinterdepartmental program supports 38 research

areas, including environmental solutions forthe oil and gas sector, cleaner transportationfor the future, energy-efficient buildings andcommunities, energy-efficient industry, Canada’selectricity infrastructure, and climate change(impacts, adaptation, and natural uptake).PERD works collaboratively with 12 federaldepartments and agencies, as well as an extensivenetwork of companies, industry associations,regulatory agencies, and universities.

Fuel Cell Technology Development(Government of Canada)The Government of Canada has supported thedevelopment of fuel cell and related technologiessince 1983. The objective is to reduce emissionsfrom transportation and stationary powerapplications and further the growth of Canadianindustry. In 1999, the government announcedthe National Fuel Cell Research and InnovationInitiative, funded at $30 million and involvingNRCan, NRC, and NSERC. Action Plan 2000,with funding of $500 million, includes fundingfor a program to develop the fuellinginfrastructure for fuel cell vehicles.

Weyburn Carbon Dioxide InjectionMonitoring Project — Capture and Storage(Governments of Canada andSaskatchewan)This monitoring project is a four-yearresearch program (2000–2004) to develop acomprehensive understanding of carbon dioxideinjection into oil-bearing geological structures.Through detailed research and measurement, aninternational research team (IEA-led) will verifythe effectiveness of enhanced oil recovery as amethod of managing GHG emissions, providingdirection and leadership for similar projects inCanada and around the world.

Saskatchewan Petroleum ResearchIncentive (Government of Saskatchewan)One of the main purposes of this incentive isto reduce the environmental impact of oil andnatural gas production, which includes GHGemissions reduction. The financial supportprovided by the incentive is in the form of oil andnatural gas royalty and tax credits, which enableproducers to deduct a portion of their company’sapproved costs for research from their oil andnatural gas royalty and tax payments.




Government Leading by Example(Government Operations)The Government of Canada and provincialand territorial governments have put in placesubstantive government-wide initiatives for theirrespective departments, agencies, and relatedinstitutions to undertake GHG emissionsreductions. For example, the Government ofCanada’s own House in Order Initiative has set atarget of reducing GHG emissions from its ownoperations so that emissions will be 31% below1990 levels by 2010. A 19% reduction has alreadybeen achieved since 1990 due to downsizing andnormal efficiency efforts. Under the initiative, theGovernment of Canada will reduce its emissionsby a further 12% by 2010. To achieve thesereductions, the 11 departments responsible formost of the federal government’s GHG emissionsare being assigned specific targets and will berequired to report annually on their programs.

Emissions reductions in governmentoperations will be achieved through an arrayof initiatives in areas such as fleet managementand alternative fuels, facilities management(e.g., building retrofits), waste management,“green” procurement, and telework andcommuting practices. Examples of initiativesinclude:

• enhanced federal building and fleet strategies,and a leadership challenge to engage all federalentities in undertaking and reporting on theirown GHG reduction actions (Government ofCanada);

• a green power purchasing incentive programfor the purchase of “green” power (non-GHGemitting) for federal facilities throughoutCanada (Government of Canada); and

• energy improvements in funded buildings (schoolmodernization) to ensure that retrofits during2000–2002 achieve high levels of energyefficiency and reduce GHG emissions, withfunding coming from a portion of a $170million fund to improve energy efficiency inschool buildings (Government of Alberta).

Investing in Knowledge/Buildingthe Foundation A key element in generating the core knowledgeon climate change was the work of the 16 IssueTables/Working Groups over a two-year period

that began in 1998. The Issue Tables undertookwork that led to Foundation Papers that analyzedthe current status of their respective issues andsectors and outlined various challenges andopportunities. After the Foundation Papers,members of each Issue Table began sector-specificand cross-cutting analyses of emissions reductionopportunities and barriers and identifiedreduction and adaptation options forconsideration in developing Canada’s nationalstrategy on climate change.

Current activities that build upon the work ofthe Issue Tables include:

• the work of the Analysis and ModellingGroup (AMG), which is conductingintegrated assessments of the economic andenvironmental implications for Canadaof implementing the Kyoto Protocol (seeAn Assessment of the Economic andEnvironmental Implications for Canada ofthe Kyoto Protocol, Analysis and ModellingGroup, November 2000); and

• analytical work on possible domestic andinternational emissions trading systems insupport of market-based mechanisms forGHG reductions.

Encouraging Action (Sectoral Actions)The private sector across the Canadian economy,with assistance from all orders of Canadiangovernment, has made consistent progress inreducing energy intensity, increasing energyefficiency and productivity, reducing emissions,and exploring new arrangements for reductions.In meeting current and future challenges,federal, provincial, and territorial governmentsand stakeholders have identified a series ofopportunities for GHG emissions abatementwithin and between sectors of the Canadianeconomy. The following subsections provide anoverview of each sector, including trends in GHGemissions, and highlights key P&Ms to tackle theGHG challenges.

Agriculture Sector Canada’s agriculture sector comprisesapproximately 250 000 farms, 98% of whichare family-owned. Unlike other sectors, thevast majority of emissions are non-energy(non–carbon dioxide) related. Agriculturecontributed 9.0% of Canadian anthropogenic



65

GHG emissions in 1999 (i.e., about 61 Mt CO2

eq.) from manure, enteric fermentation, crops,and fertilizers. In 1990, the emissions were about59 Mt CO2 eq. Emissions from agriculture areprimarily nitrous oxide (N2O) associated withfertilizer and animal manure use and methane(CH4) associated with cattle and livestockmanure.

Canada’s current and proposed P&Ms seek todevelop new technologies and practices affectinga wide range of GHG emissions in areas such asfertilizer management, livestock systems, and soilmanagement. A key area for ongoing work is thepotential for agricultural soils themselves to actas a carbon sink, which could lead to substantivereductions in GHG emissions. Building uponagronomic studies, the major contributions toreductions in GHG emissions are projected toarise from the continuation of several trends inthe sector: increased use of no-till land practices,reduced summer fallowing, improved nutrientmanagement, additional land in forage crops,improved efficiency in fossil fuel use, greater useof ethanol, and reduced methane emissions fromlivestock and manure owing to improved feedsand management practices. The net effect of thetrend toward increased fertilizer use on thePrairies requires further study: better fertilitywill increase plant biomass production and thepotential for carbon sequestration, but nitrousoxide emissions will increase. The production offertilizer, particularly nitrogen fertilizers, requiresenergy and natural gas as a raw material.

Key P&Ms in the agricultural area include:

• The Agricultural Environmental StewardshipInitiative (AESI): AESI is a three-year(2000–2003) $10 million program thataddresses the regional impacts of agriculturalpractices on water, soil, and air quality,biodiversity, and GHG emissions througheducation and awareness, technology transfer,and stewardship tools, includingenvironmental clubs, environmentalmanagement systems, and land use planning(Government of Canada).

• Planting shelterbelts: Expanding the PrairieFarm Rehabilitation Administration’sshelterbelt program, consistent with rules tobe negotiated under the Kyoto Protocol, and

establishing riparian buffers will reduce netGHG emissions, soil erosion, and nutrientrunoff into waterways.

• Soil conservation projects: These projectshave the objective of adjusting agriculturalpractices to reduce the loss and enhance theproductivity of valuable topsoil and optimizenutrient use efficiency. As a result, theseprojects increase the uptake or reduce theproduction of GHGs (namely carbon dioxide,nitrous oxide, and methane) and improveboth water and air quality in the process.Building soil organic matter (carbonsequestration) and reducing soil erosion andnutrient losses are the main focuses. Practicesinclude reduced tillage, zero-till, fieldshelterbelts, grass strips, strip cropping, etc.(Province of Saskatchewan).

• Sinks: Net GHG emissions from Canadianagriculture are expected to decrease slightly asa result of the increased use of a number ofeconomically viable practices and measuresthat mitigate GHG production and enhancesoil sinks. Agricultural soils are expected tofunction as a net sink by 2010 due todecreases in summer fallow, increases in no-till farming, increased fertilizer use efficiency,and the conversion of some annual croplandsto grasslands. Some studies predict that withappropriate and broad changes in landmanagement practices, agricultural (soils)sinks could sequester, as a conservativeestimate, 160 Mt of carbon dioxide in20 years.

Buildings Sector The buildings sector accounts for over 10%of Canada’s GHG emissions and offers anopportunity to improve energy intensity byusing more efficient equipment, improving newconstruction practices, and retrofitting existingbuildings. Enhancing public education andoutreach are key to achieving these goals.

ResidentialThe 1999 GHG inventory indicates thatresidential emissions account for 43 Mt (6%) ofCanada’s total GHG emissions, but have declined2.2% since 1990. Energy efficiency improvementsin appliances, in heating equipment, and in thethermal characteristics of houses contributed to



a decline in energy use in the residential sectorbetween 1990 and 1999. Likewise, a relativelywarm winter in 1999 contributed to reducedresidential energy use. As a result, energy-relatedGHG emissions from this sector and associatedelectricity-related GHG emissions were 9.0 Mtlower in 1999 than they would have been.However, both of these declines were offset byupward pressure on residential energy use due toa significant growth in activity (more houses andincreased floor area).

Ownership of single detached dwellingsin suburbs has become a general cultural normin Canada, and this type of housing typicallyrequires more energy per square metre than otherhousing types. New houses also tend to be biggerthan the older houses they are replacing. This isespecially true of single detached houses, whichaccount for 57% of Canadian households. Singledetached dwellings built during 1996–1997 were31% bigger than those built before 1946 and 49%bigger than those built during the 1946–1960period. The trend is also to larger domesticappliances. For instance, the average size ofrefrigerators recently sold in Canada was about17.1 cubic feet, 10% larger than in 1990.However, this tendency to purchase largerappliances is counterbalanced by the fact thatthe appliances are more energy efficient.

CommercialThe 1999 GHG inventory indicates that thecommercial and institutional sector of theeconomy accounts for about 28.9 Mt (4%) ofCanada’s total GHG emissions. Emissions fromthe commercial and institutional sector increased12% between 1990 and 1999.

Improved energy efficiency, combined withmore moderate weather conditions, helped offsetthe effect of increased commercial activitybetween 1990 and 1999, limiting growth inthe sector’s energy use to 13.4%. Without theadvances made in the energy efficiency ofcommercial and institutional buildings, heatingand cooling equipment, lighting technology,electric motors, and control systems, energyuse in the sector would have increased 15.0%between 1990 and 1999, and GHG emissionswould have been 0.7 Mt higher in 1999 thanthey were.

Key P&Ms in the buildings sector include:

• Green Building Retrofit Program: This programprovides an opportunity for provinciallyfunded schools, universities, colleges, andhealth care institutions to upgrade existingfacilities with energy and water efficiencyenhancements, as well as waste-savingmeasures. Since the late 1970s, BritishColumbia has reduced energy consumption intargeted buildings by over 55% and generatedover $120 million in total energy savingsthrough retrofitting provincial facilities(Government of British Columbia).

• EnerGuide for Houses Program: Fundingof $3 million per year over three years(1998–2001) has been allocated to theEnerGuide for Houses Program, whichencourages Canadians to improve the energyperformance of their homes (the program hasbeen extended to 2006). Homeowners receiveadvice from independent energy efficiencyexperts on how to improve home comfortand reduce heating and cooling costs whenmaking home improvements (Governmentof Canada).

• Renewable Energy Deployment Initiative(REDI): REDI provides $12 million over threeyears (1998–2001) to promote renewableenergy systems for space and water heatingand for cooling through an incentive thatfunds 25% of the cost of adopting newsystems (to a maximum of $50 000). Eligiblesystems include solar air heating, solar waterheating, and high-efficiency/low-emissionbiomass combustion. REDI also providesmarket support for earth energy systemsand supports pilot projects in the publicinstitution and residential markets(Government of Canada).

• Commercial Building Incentive Program:Funding of $10 million per year (1998–2001)has been allocated to provide incentivesthat encourage building owners anddevelopers to incorporate energy-efficienttechnologies and practices into designs fornew commercial and institutional buildings.To qualify, a design must demonstrate thatthe new building will be at least 25% moreefficient than a reference building that



67

complies with the Model National EnergyCode for Buildings (Government of Canada).

• Provincial Buildings Initiative (PBI): The goalof the PBI is to improve energy efficiency ingovernment-owned buildings. The initiativeuses energy performance contracting as adelivery mechanism. All government facilitiesthat are directly funded are being consideredfor improvements. Efficiency improvementsinclude physical retrofits, training, andawareness activities. PBI efficiencyimprovements began in November 1997and are expected to be complete by December2001. Over 95% of all government buildingshave been considered under the initiative,resulting in $26 million in retrofit contractsin 370 buildings. Annual energy savings of$4.5 million are expected. The impacts of theinitiative will be monitored over the next10 years (Government of New Brunswick).

• Federal Buildings Initiative (FBI): The FBI isdesigned to help an organization manageenergy costs while making facilities morecomfortable and productive places to work.The FBI provides a full range of productsand services required by an organization toimplement comprehensive energy efficiencyimprovements. These include information,advice, and consultation on the organization’sreadiness and project design, lists of energymanagement firms qualified to build projects,project financing options, a nationalnetwork for energy management training,model tendering documents, and employeeawareness products. The FBI supportspartnerships with energy management firmsthat provide a turnkey service that includesengineering, third-party private sectorfinancing, comprehensive training packages,and performance guarantees. By March 2000,federal government departments had utilized$180 million of private sector investmentto implement FBI-type energy efficiencyimprovement projects in some 5 500buildings. These projects generate $24 millionin annual cost savings and reduced GHGemissions by some 128 kt annually based onpreliminary estimates.

Electricity Sector Under the Canadian constitution, electricity isprimarily within the jurisdiction of the provinces.The federal role regarding electricity is restrictedto nuclear energy and international andinterprovincial trade. In most provinces, theindustry is highly integrated, with the bulk of thegeneration, transmission, and distributionprovided by a few dominant utilities. Althoughsome of these utilities are privately owned, mostutilities are Crown corporations owned by theprovinces.

The electric power industry has a significantpresence within the Canadian economy. In 1997,approximately 80 000 people were directlyemployed by the industry. Total revenue forthe largest utilities amounted to more than$25 billion in 1999, and revenues from exportswere about $1.9 billion. Exports accounted for 8%of Canada’s total generation in 1999. Exports aresold primarily to markets in the New Englandstates, New York state, the upper Midwest, thePacific Northwest, and California. Canada’selectricity prices in the residential, commercial,and industrial sectors are generally lower thanthose of other countries.

The Canadian electricity industry is currentlyresponding to increasing competitive pressuresand will likely undergo significant restructuringover the next decade, which may change fuelchoices. Responsibility for electricity generation,transmission, and distribution and for marketsin Canada generally lies with the provinces;therefore, differing systems, technologies, andGHG reduction capacities have evolved.

The electricity sector is projected to accountfor 16% of Canada’s GHG emissions by 2010.In its VCR submission, the Canadian ElectricityAssociation, representing Canada’s electricalutilities, announced planned reductions inemissions from operations of approximately 3 Mtby 2000 as a result of mitigative actions.Discussions on electricity sector covenants toencourage GHG emissions reductions outlinedin Action Plan 2000 are currently under way.

Emissions from this sector are growing, andit is estimated they will be 25% above 1990levels by 2008–2012. To achieve GHG reductions,future emissions growth can be moderatedthrough methods such as:



• the displacement of oil- and coal-firedgeneration by cleaner and more efficientnatural gas– and coal-fired combustion;

• the introduction of policy instruments thatincrease demand and supply for alternativeenergy sources; and

• a switch to hydro, nuclear, and renewableenergy sources.

Key P&Ms in the electricity sector include:

• Offset programs: British Columbia Hydro hascommitted over $2 million for the purchase ofGHG offsets over the 2000–2001 time frame.TransAlta Utilities of Alberta has signed anagreement to purchase up to 2.8 milliontonnes of carbon emission credits from farmsin the United States.

• Green power procurement and renewables:Various provincial and federal efforts areunder way to provide opportunities andincentives for the development and purchaseof green power by governments. TheGovernment of Canada has a broadcommitment to purchase 20% of its electricityrequirements from low- or non-GHG-emittingelectricity sources.

• CO2 Capture and Storage Initiative: Thisinitiative under Action Plan 2000 includes ameasure to create an inventory of suitablesource and storage sites, including oil and gasreservoirs, coal deposits, and saline aquifers,for their potential to store carbon dioxidecaptured from coal-fired electricity generationfacilities.

• Efficient energy use: Various programsmonitor and audit energy use by customers,promote secondary energy purchases fromhydroelectric generating stations, andpromote public awareness and outreach.

Forest Sector Canada’s forests cover 45% of the country’s landbase and support a wide range of industrial,commercial, cultural, and recreational uses, allof which may be affected by climate change. Inparticular, much of Canada’s forests will likely be

altered in character and geographic distribution.Furthermore, climate change is expected to leadto an increase in natural disturbances (e.g., forestfires and insect and disease outbreaks).

Key Canadian P&Ms in the forest sector include:

• Feasibility assessment of afforestation for carbonsequestration: The Government of Canada(Canadian Forest Service 32) is developing athree-year preparatory measure that focuseson assessing, planning, designing, andevaluating the feasibility of a large-scaleafforestation program in Canada. As a meansto assess the design, mechanics, and feasibilityof developing a large-scale program,afforestation pilots, or trials, will be identifiedacross the range of suitable lands in Canada.The primary target group for the afforestationpilots is private landowners with marginalagricultural land.

• SaskPower Carbon Offset Agreement: Thisforest-based carbon offset agreement has beensubmitted to the Greenhouse Gas EmissionReduction Trading (GERT) Pilot for review.It is currently being evaluated for possibleregistration in the pilot. The Agreement hastwo components. One involves planting5 million seedlings on about 3 300 ha of landover 1999–2002. This land was harvestedseveral decades ago but has not successfullyregenerated. The second component is theestablishment of approximately 225 000 haof forest carbon reserves in 1999–2000,removing these areas of provincial forest fromharvesting. These actions are intended togenerate carbon credits through reforestationand protection from harvesting. TheGovernment of Saskatchewan is transferringthese credits to SaskPower in exchange forfunding to carry out the afforestation. Creditsequivalent to approximately 6 million tonnesof carbon will be transferred.

• Afforestation and Reforestation Initiative: Underan afforestation component of its private landsilviculture program, New Brunswick expectsto plant 500 ha of abandoned privately ownedfarmland per year. With respect to Crownland, land having less than 60% regenerationstocking after harvesting will be planted.


____________________________________________________32 The Canadian Forest Service is part of NRCan.

This Crown land reforestation initiativewill see about 10 000 ha planted each year(Government of New Brunswick).

Industry Sector Canada has the most open economy amongG7 countries, with trade in goods and servicescomprising 75% of its GDP. Resource-basedindustries alone comprise 40% of Canada’sexports. The industry sector generallyencompasses manufacturing industries, mining,forestry, construction, and the production offossil fuels.

Industry sector GHG emissions increased6.6% between 1990 and 1999. Two-thirds of thesector’s emissions come from the consumption ofenergy. These emissions increased 11.4% between1990 and 1999 as a result of growth in economicactivity and a shift to more energy-intensiveindustries. However, the increase would havebeen greater if not for a 9.1% improvementin energy efficiency, achieved through therationalization of operations, the installationof more efficient equipment, and other efforts.Those efforts are estimated to have curbed GHGemissions by 12.4 Mt in 1999 in the sector.

Five natural resource–based industries —mining, petroleum refining, iron and steel,newsprint, and primary production of aluminum— account for around 25% of this sector’sGHG emissions. Due to investments in newtechnologies and energy efficiency, naturalresource–based industries are expected to beable to maintain roughly current levels of GHGemissions, despite growing international demandfor Canadian goods.

Key P&Ms in the industry sector include:

• Canadian Industry Program for EnergyConservation (CIPEC): CIPEC is a 25-year-oldvoluntary industry–government alliance thatworks to identify energy efficiency potential,establish energy efficiency improvementtargets, implement and manage energyefficiency improvement programs andprojects, report on progress, and celebrateaccomplishments. CIPEC includes 35 tradeassociations, representing over 3 000companies and 90% of secondary industrial

energy demand. Industry members underCIPEC include the following sectors:aluminum, brewery, cement, chemical, dairy,electrical and electronics, fertilizer, foodprocessing, general manufacturing, lime,mining, oil sands, petroleum, pulp andpaper, rubber, soft drink, steel, textile,transportation, and wood products. Industriesparticipating in CIPEC recorded an averageannual energy efficiency improvement of1.26% for the period 1990–1998, representingthe amount of energy necessary to heat 38%of all Canadian houses in 1998, while at thesame time stabilizing energy-related emissionsof carbon dioxide. This exceeds CIPEC’s goalof a 1% annual improvement in energyintensity between 1990 and 2010.

• Promotion of enhanced recycling: Thisincludes development of improved recyclingtechnology (steel, aluminum, magnesium)and practices.

Given the importance of fossil fuel productionto Canada’s economy and to better explainthe policy context for GHG emissions, theproduction of oil and gas is discussed separatelythroughout this report.

Fossil Fuel Production — Oil and Gas Canada’s upstream oil and gas sector is roughlya $60 billion industry, which includes $50 billionin exports. The production, transmission,processing, and distribution of fossil fuelscontributed more than 100 Mt of GHG emissionsin 1999. 33 Over 50% of Canada’s oil and naturalgas production is exported, mainly to the UnitedStates.

A large amount of energy is required todevelop and transport these natural resources.A significant pipeline transportationinfrastructure is in place for moving Canadiangas, oil, bitumen, synthetic crude, and liquidsfrom other locations in western and northernCanada to local, national, and U.S. markets. GHGemissions associated with the production of fossilfuels (oil and natural gas) for export alone wereresponsible for around 25% of the growth ofCanada’s GHG emissions (estimated at more than20 Mt) between 1990 and 1999. GHG emissions



____________________________________________________33 In combination with coal production, the GHG emissions directly attributable to the fossil fuels sector (including pipelines and

fugitive emissions) could be calculated to be as high as 134 Mt, based upon the 1999 GHG inventory data.

in this sector are derived from two principalsources:

• fossil fuel use in the exploration,development, production, and transport ofcrude oil, natural gas, and coal; and

• fugitive emissions (e.g., carbon dioxide andmethane) from the production and transportof these raw materials.

VCR submissions from industry and relatedevidence suggest that significant emissionreductions are possible in natural gas and oilproduction through improved practices and newtechnologies. Over the next 10 years, more thanhalf of Canadian crude oil production is expectedto come from the oil sands. However, with theadaptation of new technologies, oil sands GHGemissions on a per unit basis of production werereduced by 20% between 1990 and 1999 and areexpected to drop another 20% by 2010.

Companies from this sector were foundingmembers of the VCR. Various accomplishmentsrelated to energy efficiency improvement andemission reductions are reported in the VCR.Canada’s FNBP builds upon these successes,addresses related emissions, such as fugitive GHGemissions, and promotes the storage of carbondioxide.

Key P&Ms include:

• Reduction of flaring and venting in the oil andgas sector: The Clean Air Strategic Alliance(CASA) board of directors has approved amultistakeholder working group to reviewflaring practices in Alberta and recommendan Alberta venting management frameworkto improve flaring management andreductions in volumes of solution gas ventedinto the atmosphere (Government of Alberta).

• Renewable energy: This includes a variety ofpossible projects and funding related to wind,biomass, liquid bio-fuels (e.g., methanol,ethanol), hydroelectricity, solar energy,geothermal energy, etc. (Government ofCanada).

• Adjustments to the Capital Cost Allowance(CCA) system: The February 2000 federalbudget proposes several adjustments toimprove the CCA system to encourage

investment in energy-efficient manufacturing,electrical, and processing equipment(Government of Canada).

• Oil and Gas Commission Environmental Fund:This $400 000 fund was created to explore thefeasibility of eliminating emissions (sulphurdioxide and GHG) from flaring and fugitiveemissions through development of bestmanagement practices and new technology(Government of British Columbia).

• Carbon dioxide capture and storage: Analysisand pilot projects (initially in the WesternCanadian Sedimentary Basin) willdemonstrate the capture, treatment,transportation, and injection of carbondioxide from large stationary sources (e.g.,fossil fuel–based electricity operating stations)for storage in geological formations to preventthe release of carbon dioxide emissions intothe atmosphere (Governments of Canada,Alberta, Saskatchewan, and others).

Municipalities Canada’s municipal governments have a directimpact on GHG emissions from their ownoperations in key areas such as solid wastemanagement (landfills), sewage, buildings andfacilities (retrofitting), water and energy systems,transportation (transit, vehicle fleets), and urbanplanning. Landfill gas, for example, accountsfor 26% (1.2 Mt) of all methane emissions inCanada. Overall, municipal governments directlycontrol approximately 6% of Canada’s GHGemissions. Municipalities also have an indirectimpact on general emissions through theirregulatory and planning roles in the communityat large. More broadly, municipalities could playa role in over half the national GHG inventory.

Experience over the past 10 years indicatesthat municipal governments can be effectivedelivery agents, in partnership with other ordersof government, for programs promoting energyefficiency and the reduction of waste and GHGemissions. The goal is to achieve sustainablecommunities by “reaching, teaching, andequipping” municipalities to undertake thesevarious climate change challenges. The FCM,through its Sustainable Communities program,helps municipal governments target localinitiatives that improve the eco-efficiency oftheir operations.




71

Key P&Ms include:

• Climate Change Action Fund (public educationand outreach component): The Government ofCanada provides resources for cost-sharedprojects, with some funds directed atmunicipalities. The CCAF is designed to assistmunicipalities with program delivery and toassist supporting national and regionalorganizations. One of the projects fundedunder this category was the FCM’sInfrastructure Risk: Adapting to ClimateChange project. The project was launched inJuly 2000 to complement an existing FCMprogram, the Partners for Climate ProtectionProgram, which promotes the benefits ofGHG reductions across 90 participatingmunicipalities (Government of Canada).

• The Green Municipal Enabling Fund (GMEF)and the Green Municipal Investment Fund(GMIF): These are endowment funds thatprovide support for a variety of municipalinfrastructure improvements that benefit theenvironment, such as the FCM’s SustainableCommunities program. The GMEF pays50% of the cost of feasibility studies, whilethe GMIF provides loans for up to 25% ofthe cost of capital projects. Both funds aremanaged by the FCM, which operates inpartnership with the Government of Canada.The five-year, $25 million GMEF supportsfeasibility studies for innovativeenvironmental projects within municipaloperations (e.g., waste management,transportation systems, and renewable energytechnologies). The $100 million GMIFprovides loans and loan guarantees to eligiblerecipients to carry out environmental projectswithin municipal operations as well as grantsand long-term loans for pilot projects. Bothfunds began operating in fiscal year2000–2001 (Government of Canada).

• Federation of Canadian MunicipalitiesMunicipal Building Retrofit Program: Toadvance the adoption of energy efficiencyin the municipal sector, the FCM offersmunicipalities a comprehensive program thatincludes the elements necessary to identify,develop, and implement comprehensivebuilding energy retrofits, as well as assist ingaining access to financing. Some $1.6 millionwas provided in the 1999 federal budget(Government of Canada).

• Landfill gas capture: Such programs updateregulations and management criteria forlandfills, including requirements for collectionand management of landfill gas, and supportthe development of local governmentproposals to utilize landfill gas (Governmentof British Columbia and regional and localgovernments). The Municipal Options Reportindicates that total landfill capture at 37 sitesacross Canada is 5.4–6.7 Mt CO2 eq. annually.

• Energy audits for municipal buildings: Energyaudits develop the capacity to assist Albertamunicipalities in reducing GHG emissionsassociated with their operations (Governmentof Alberta).

• Canada Infrastructure Program: Through cost-sharing with provincial and municipalpartners, this federal program will helpaccelerate and enhance infrastructure worksfor local communities. Green municipalinfrastructure will be a top priority. The typesof investments that would fall under greenmunicipal infrastructure include water, wastemanagement, and efficient energy services(Government of Canada).

• Landfill standards: The Ontario governmentintroduced stringent new landfill standardsthat require the capture of methane emissions.Methane is a GHG 20 times more potent thancarbon dioxide. Ontario is one of the firstjurisdictions in Canada to enact such arequirement (Government of Ontario).

Transportation SectorTransportation is a large and diverse sector,accounting for 27% of Canada’s GHG emissionsin 1999. GHG emissions from the transportationsector increased 24% from 1990 to 1999.

However, energy efficiency improvements in bothfreight and passenger transportation limitedgrowth in energy use between 1990 and 1999,partially offsetting the growth in vehicle activityand an increase in the amount of freight shippedby truck (a relatively energy-intensive mode oftransportation). Without energy efficiency effortsand the ongoing implementation of advancedtechnologies across the sector, transportation-related GHG emissions would have been 8.9 Mthigher.



The transport sector comprises urban, inter-urban, and rural transportation across a varietyof transportation modes and regional systems.The main determinants of road energy demand(and GHG emissions) are the stock of vehicles,their average fuel efficiency, and distancetravelled per vehicle. These are, in turn, affectedby demographics, geography, economic structure,and levels of economic growth.

The challenges imposed by geography arecompounded by continuing growth in thedemand for transportation resulting from bothpopulation and economic growth. Withoutfurther mitigative action, GHG emissions fromthe transport sector (freight and passenger) areexpected to exceed 1990 levels by 33% in 2010.

Growth in the transportation sector,particularly in aviation, trucking, and off-roadvehicles, has outstripped significant annualefficiency gains and environmentalimprovements. For example, there has been ashift in consumer preference from cars to greaterGHG-emitting minivans and sport utility vehicles(SUVs). In 1999, SUVs accounted for 11.6% of allnew vehicles sold in Canada and about 5.5% ofall vehicles on the road. Freight activity increased32.7% between 1990 and 1999, while passengeractivity increased 13.3%, which includes thesubstantial growth in the SUV market. Table 4.2shows the actual and projected increase invehicles on the road and in road traffic from 1990to 2010.

Automobile ownership is high in Canada,largely for reasons of necessity (due to urbansprawl and long distances between city centres),but also for convenience and comfort. The1994–1996 Canadian National Private VehicleUse survey shows an average of 1.3 vehicles perhousehold. The average number of vehicles perhousehold in France, Germany, and the UnitedKingdom is lower. Moreover, during the sameperiod, 45% of Canadian households owned atleast one light-duty vehicle (passenger car,pickup truck, or van), and 36% owned twovehicles or more.

The policy approach to transportationGHG emissions requires the close coordinationof federal, provincial, and territorial governments

and includes promotion of behavioural changes,infrastructure modernization and adaptation,urban planning upgrades for efficient andintegrated transport systems, and technologydevelopment (e.g., fuel-efficient vehicles, low-or non-carbon fuel systems). Canada–U.S.cooperation is also required, given the integratedNorth American vehicle production market andthe goal of achieving harmonized new fuelefficiency standards by 2010.

Key P&Ms include:

• Intelligent transportation systems (ITS):In Alberta, ITS measures such as incidentmanagement, adaptive signal control systems,and traveller information are facilitatedthrough provincial funding. Some $4.38million has been budgeted (Government ofAlberta).

• SkyTrain expansion: The Province of BritishColumbia has committed $1.167 billion toextend Greater Vancouver’s rapid transitSkyTrain line, linking Vancouver toCoquitlam and New Westminster, andpurchase 60 new SkyTrain vehicles, as theresult of a June 1998 agreement withBombardier Inc. Completion of the first phaseis expected in 2002 (Government of BritishColumbia).

• Transit enhancement: The cities of Calgary andEdmonton have identified transit bus renewaland light rail expansion as investment areas intheir respective transportation infrastructureinvestment plans. This has been budgeted at$420.5 million, covering 2001–2005(Government of Alberta).

• Canadian Transportation Fuel Cell Alliance:This proposal is for a five-year federalprogram, with additional co-funding fromprovinces and the private sector, todemonstrate GHG reductions, evaluatevarious fuel routes for fuel cell vehicles, anddevelop the necessary supporting frameworkfor the refuelling infrastructure, includingtechnical standards, codes, training,certification, and safety (Government ofCanada).



73

• Fuel efficiency: The Government of Ontariois preparing best management practices toimprove the fuel efficiency and the emissionsperformance of vehicle fleets in the public andprivate sectors (Government of Ontario).

Cross-Sectoral Actions: Framework andPartnership ActionsBroader actions by all Canadian sectors onmitigation and adaptation are required to addressclimate change. The FNBP, which includes ActionPlan 2000, is designed to assist in these efforts bybuilding partnerships with provinces, territories,and stakeholders, setting a course of action forcomprehensive emission reduction strategieswithin and across all industrial sectors,addressing particular GHG issues related toregional situations, and leveraging more fundingfor GHG reduction efforts. This range of activityincludes enhancing frameworks for voluntarycommitments, eliminating policy barriers, andencouraging voluntary systems for tradingemissions.

Voluntary Actions — Voluntary Challengeand Registry Inc. (VCR) and ÉcoGESteVCR is a stand-alone, not-for-profit corporationdedicated to encouraging private and public sectororganizations to voluntarily limit their net GHGemissions as a step toward meeting Canada’sclimate change goals. In effect, VCR andÉcoGESte are registries that encourageorganizations to develop and implement GHGreduction plans. Developed in late 1994, VCRbecame a core element of Canada’s NAPCC.VCR completed its transition from a government-incubated program to a stand-alone private–publicpartnership in 1997, with two-thirds of itsfunding coming from the private sector and one-

third from federal and provincial governments.Organizations from all sectors of the economyhave joined the initiative, including the federalgovernment and all provincial/territorialgovernments. VCR’s roles and responsibilitiesinclude:

• recording and documenting participation, aswell as the action plans, best practices, andachievements of registrants;

• analyzing actions and achievements,considering potential for further progress,and providing related support to registrants;

• recognizing, publicizing, and promotingregistrants who are making progress towardachieving Canada’s climate change objectiveswith the support of the VCR TechnicalAdvisory Committee; and

• preparing progress reports and annual reportsand identifying issues for consideration in theevolution of VCR.

Participation in VCR has risen steadily sincethe program’s inception. By the end of 1998, VCRcounted 874 registrants, representing over 75%of the opportunity for business and governmentsto reduce GHG generation, including companiesand organizations from all sectors of theeconomy. Membership was strongest in thesectors highlighted in Table 4.3.

Membership is growing in non-automotivetransportation, general manufacturing, theagriculture sector, commercial and institutionalsectors, and financial services (see www.vcr-mvr.ca

Baseline Protection Initiative (BPI) On January 12, 2000, federal, provincial, andterritorial governments officially announcedthe BPI under the NCCP. The BPI ensures thatbusinesses will not be disadvantaged by futurepolicy actions with respect to the allocation ofemissions, by having baseline emission levelstake into account prior business actions (earlyactions since 1990) on climate change that arereal, measurable, and verifiable. Companiescan register these early actions with VCR orÉcoGESte in Quebec. Baseline protection isintended to remove disincentives to earlyemissions reduction actions. Through BPI,those who take steps to reduce their GHGemissions will be able to ensure that they are notdisadvantaged if a future climate change policyinitiative based on past emission levels isadopted. Organizations with early actionsregistered in the BPI registries can adjust theirbaseline emissions to reflect the early emissionsreduction actions they have already taken.

Encouraging GHG Emissions ReductionsEfforts are under way to test the feasibility ofestablishing incentives to promote emissionsreduction. These pilots will seek emissionsreductions in strategic program areas and willfocus on dollar-based incentives:

• Domestic Emissions Trading (DET) Study:This ongoing federal, provincial, and

territorial study is looking at emissionsmeasurement, broad versus narrow DETcoverage, transition to DET, harmonizationwith any U.S. DET system, and permitallocation options.

• Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Trading(GERT) Pilot: The B.C. government isspearheading implementation of the nationalGERT Pilot to test the effectiveness ofemissions trading to decrease emissions.The GERT Pilot is recognized internationallyas being on the leading edge in the search forpractical approaches to emissions trading.The GERT Pilot has been extended foranother two years to December 31, 2001(Governments of Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia,Alberta, and Canada).

• Pilot Emission Reduction Trading Project(PERT): Established in 1996, the PilotEmission Reduction Trading Project is anindustry-led, multistakeholder environmentalinitiative. The federal and Ontariogovernments and national companies areutilizing PERT to evaluate, in part, the effectsof climate change (see www.pert.org for moreinformation).

CONCLUSION

Since the Second National Report of 1997,Canadian governments have instituted acomprehensive NCCP through the NIS and FNBP.As a component of the FNBP, it is estimated thatthe policies and measures announced in theGovernment of Canada’s Action Plan 2000 willreduce GHG emissions by 65 Mt annually duringthe 2008–2012 commitment period. Includingclimate change efforts by the private sector,Canada has implemented and will continue toimplement an array of substantive policies andmeasures designed to significantly reduce GHGemissions across all key sectors. These policiesand measures encompass science, impact, andadaptation-related matters. A complete list ofCanada’s planned or implemented policies andmeasures on a sector-by-sector basis, includingAction Plan 2000 measures, appears inAppendix 1, Table 1. Canada has also madeimportant progress in areas such as increasingenergy efficiency and reducing the energyintensity of GHG-emitting fuels. Emissions wouldhave been higher without these important efforts.
