About emissions

There are different ways to get information about the petroleum industry’s emissions across Canada, including data from:

Criteria Air Contaminants Emissions Inventory

Every five years Environment Canada produces the Criteria Air Contaminants Emissions Inventory with data on emission sources across Canada. These focus on emissions such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds.

Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory

Published by Environment Canada, the Greenhouse Gas Inventory provides information on emissions from the upstream and downstream segments of the petroleum industry.

National Pollutant Release Inventory

Published by Environment Canada, the National Pollutant Release Inventory is an annual report on the releases of key emissions to air, water and land from large industrial and commercial sources.

Voluntary Challenge and Registry

The Voluntary Challenge and Registry is a private-public partnership that promotes voluntary efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The VCR provides public reports on the commitments and progress of companies in different industries, including the petroleum industry.


On the Centre for Energy portal

About energy offers encyclopedia-type information about conventional and alternative energy sources.

Energy news presents live news feeds sorted by sector, region or news source.

Gasoline prices responds to frequently asked questions about gasoline pricing in Canada.

Sustainability, Efficiency, Conservation and Environment will link you to information sources related to air, land, water, climate change and sustainability.

Presented in cooperation with Human Resources Skills Development Canada, Careers in energy presents energy-related job descriptions that are fully searchable and can be sorted by industry, classification or education level required. Links to professional associations, job boards and educational institutions provide even more information and the events calendar offers current information about events, conferences and training opportunities.

Partners in energy features brief profiles and direct links to organizations that support the Centre for Energy’s mandate to foster awareness and understanding about the Canadian energy sector.
