Author Description

This report provides a reference outlook for Canadian energy demand and supply, and for greenhouse gas emissions, over the next 25 years. It first highlights the major changes in the framework assumptions, concentrating on the arguments for making each change, then provides the updated energy demand projections by sector and compares the results with the estimates in the original document. It also presents similar information for oil and gas supply and for electricity generation, and focuses on the changes in the projections of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions and the implications of these changes for meeting Canada's climate change objectives. The appendix includes discussion of the modelling framework used and of the assessment of the impact of energy efficiency initiatives on energy use, as well as summary tables.
