An analysis earlier this year by the Canadian Climate Institute found that carbon pricing — both the consumer and industrial versions — was projected to reduce emissions by as much as 50 per cent by 2030, but it noted that the industrial carbon...
Industrial carbon pricing and coal phaseouts were cited as two policies helping to drive the electricity sector's decarbonization efforts, with emissions falling 6.2 per cent year-over-year, or 62 per cent since 2005. "What we've been able to do in electricity ...
Data collected by CAMS, an international and intergovernmental agency operating in the European Union, revealed that this year’s wildfires raging throughout Canada have released 290 megatonnes of carbon emissions through Aug. 1. This stunning year-to-date measureme...
The Clean Hydrogen ITC was announced as part of the government’s 2022 proposals. New details of the basic design elements of the hydrogen ITC include a volumetric ITC credit based on carbon intensity of the project, measured by kilograms of carbon emissions produced per kilogram of hydrogen...
Even with its low population density, Canada, on a per capita basis, has the dubious distinction of being the world's fourth largest producer of carbon from carbon dioxide. This paper considers the impact of Canadian carbon dioxide emissions on the greenhouse effect in light of the 1988 ...
As part of the firm's commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030, KPMG has reduced carbon emissions by 25 per cent since the firm's 2022 fiscal year while continuing to power its offices using 100 per cent renewable electricity through the purchase of renewable energy certificates t...
The tax measure is designed to lower the country's carbon emissions so Canada can meet the reduction targets it agreed to at the Paris Climate Summit. The federal tax is 20 Canadian dollars (about 14.97 U.S. dollars) per tonne for this year and is set to increase by 10 Canadian dollars...
Although their forests are much smaller, Finland and Sweden harvest six to eight times the timber volume per forested hectare than Canada does. At the same time, the net annual increase in stored carbon in Sweden’s forest is so large it reduces national GHG emissions by 70%. These Nordic ...
The inclusion of wetland areas increases the carbon sink by about 25 MtC per year as wetlands have been carbon sinks in most years of the last century when methane is not included. As biomass data in inventory are missing over the northern part of boreal forests and soil carbon data are ...
(85 - 172 Tg CO2yr-1)46. Because Canada-wide emissions and burned area are strongly correlated amongst all five gridded estimates (0.72 ± 0.03), emissions intensity (carbon emissions per unit area burned) provides a more flexible uncertainty metric. The emissions intensity of 5.0 kg...
