Dec 6, 2022 · Canada's energy consumption increased 2.8% to 8 167 petajoules in 2021, following a 10.5% decrease in 2020. Energy use increased in three sectors: the industrial (+5.0%) and transportation (+4.9%) sectors saw the greatest increase, followed by the agriculture (+1.9%) sector.
- Canada’s Energy Transition. In the Evolving Policies Scenario, combustion of fossil fuels whose emissions are not captured falls 62% from 2021 to 2050, while use of low and non-emitting energy sources increases.
- Low-carbon Electricity. Canadians use more electricity, from increasingly low-carbon sources. Despite total energy use declining, electricity demand grows 47% from 2021 to 2050 in the Evolving Policies Scenario, much of it from new areas such as electric vehicles and hydrogen production.
- Wind and Solar. Wind, solar, and battery storage dominate electric capacity additions in all six net-zero electricity scenarios, making up between 82-85% of added capacity.
- Diverse Electricity Grids. The net-zero electricity scenarios suggest that Canadian power systems will continue to be very distinct across the country, even in a low-carbon future.
Jan 31, 2024 · Canada has one of the highest per-capita energy consumption rates in the world thanks to cold winters, hot summers, and a widely dispersed population. In addition, high levels of immigration are now the key driver of population growth, and added energy demand.
