Description

The regional pattern of greenhouse gas emissions for 1998 is shown on this map. The map also shows regional emissions per capita, in terms of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per habitant in each region. Carbon dioxide emissions are a large part, at least 55%, of the total greenhouse gas emissions in each region. Methane's share of greenhouse gas emissions is higher in provinces where agriculture and fossil fuel production are important economic activities. Nitrous oxide is produced by the transportation sector and by agricultural activities. The other gases shown are produced primarily by industrial sectors, particularly the aluminium production, located mainly in Quebec.
