Data visualization: Physical flow account for greenhouse gas emissions

Statistics Canada's Physical Flow Accounts record the annual flows of selected natural resources, products and residuals between the Canadian economy and the environment. Data are presented to reflect the activities of industries, households and governments, and follow the classification system of industries and commodities used in Statistics Canada's supply and use tables.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is responsible for producing Canada's official National Inventory Report on Greenhouse Gas Sources and Sinks. This inventory, which fulfills Canada's reporting obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is consistent with guidelines published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and is the official benchmark for greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. National inventories under the UNFCCC and the greenhouse gas accounts under the United Nations System of Environmental–Economic Accounting are based on different methodological frameworks that result in different greenhouse gas estimates. For more information on the methodological differences, see Canadian System of Environmental-Economic Accounts - Physical Flow Accounts survey page and the graphic, Complementary approaches to reporting Canada's greenhouse gas emissions.

The dashboard will be continually updated with the most recent data from the physical flow account for greenhouse gas emissions (Table 38-10-0097-01). For a link to the dashboard and more about the latest in energy information in Canada, visit the Canadian Centre for Energy Information website.
