Description

Hydro Quebec dataset on the factors of direct emission of greenhouse gases from energy sources in Quebec's import and export markets. Updated annually. ## Method Data from public sources external to the company is extracted and compiled. Direct greenhouse gas emission factors are presented for each of the energy sources on an external market from which Quebec can import energy or to which it can export energy. Power plants powered by renewable sources of energy do not produce direct GHG emissions. Sources of GHG emissions by power plants powered by fossil fuels: * Quebec: https://www.hydroquebec.com/data/developpement-durable/pdf/d-5647-etiquette-metrique2021-fr-vf.pdf * Ontario: values calculated retroactively from the following Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) sites: https://www.ieso.ca/-/media/Files/IESO/Document-Library/gas-phase-out/Decarbonization-and-Ontarios-Electricity-System.ashx and https://www.ieso.ca/en/Corporate-IESO/Media/Year-End-Data#yearenddata * New York State, New England, MISO and PJM: https://www.epa.gov/egrid The values of GHG emissions from electricity generation in New York State, New England and by the MISO and PJM organizations are calculated from the GHG emissions from power plants published in the EPA eGrid database (https://www.epa.gov/egrid). The values of GHG emissions from electricity generation in New Brunswick and Ontario are respectively from the federal government (https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-markets/provincial-territorial-energy-profiles/provincial-territorial-energy-profiles-new-brunswick.html) and from the IESO. All of these values differ from the values recommended by the Regulations Amending the Regulations Respecting the Mandatory Reporting of Certain Contaminant Emissions into the Air (RDOECA). ## Additional Information * Geographic coverage: North-East America * Instructions and conditions of use: The data provided is raw, without guarantee of quality and may change without notice.
