Projections show that large industrial emitters could produce about
half of Canada’s total GHG emissions by 2010. Large industrial
emitters are primarily in the oil and gas, electricity, mining and
manufacturing
sectors. The mining and manufacturing sectors include these industries:
chemicals; fertilizers; pulp and paper; mining; smelting and refining
(including aluminum); steel; cement; lime; and glass. According to
the
Climate Change Plan for Canada, large industrial emitters are to
reduce their emissions by 55 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Resources Canada, Large Final Emitters Group, www.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca

In Canada, small-scale hydro-electric systems are defined as ‘micro’
(100 kilowatts or less, which can supply one or two houses); ‘mini’
systems, (100 kilowatts to 1 megawatt, which typically supplies a small
factory or isolated community); and ‘small’ systems,
(1 to 30 megawatts, which are at the low end for supply to a regional
or
provincial power grid).
