        Canada's Action on Climate Change

        …as of July 2011, 2% renewable fuel content for diesel and heating oil. Standards are also being developed to reduce GHG emissions from new on-road heavy-duty vehicles of the 2014 and later model years; proposed regulations were published in April 2012. The Government of Canada also published proposed regulations to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired electricity generation in August 2011. These are expected to be finalized in 2012, and would come into effect in 2015. The Government is now moving forward to address GHG emissions for other major-emitting sectors, including the oil and gas sector…

Facilities that began operating in 2004 or later will face tougher targets based on cleaner fuels and cleaner technologies. Coal-fired power plants and oil sands plants coming into operation in 2012 or later will face the toughest targets which will effectively require putting in place carbon capture and storage or equivalent technology by 2018. Firms will have access to flexible mechanisms to meet their targets in a cost-effective way. This includes making in-house reductions, taking advantage of domestic emissions trading…

        Energy, Carbon Dioxide and Sulphur Taxation

        …the tax is charged per 0.1% of sulphur content by weight. For coke, coal and peat it is charged per kg of sulphur content. The sulphur tax is applied on heavy fuel oils, coal and peat. If sulphur is removed from the exhaust gases the tax is refunded at the same rate for each kg of sulphur removed.In 2009 the government decided to raise the energy tax on diesel in two steps by a total of SEK 0.40 per litre. The first increase of SEK 0.20 was implemented on 1 January 2011 with the second increase…

Members reported emissions reductions of more than 21 million tonnes of CO2-e in 2002 as a result of actions taken as part of the programme. The seven most significant types of actions associated with these emissions reductions, each of which resulted in savings in excess of 1 million tonnes CO2-e, were: coal seam methane drainage; energy management and audits; fuel switching; boiler upgrade/optimisation; flare reduction; cogeneration; and process gas mitigation. The programme…
