AbstractThe regional pattern of greenhouse gas emissions for 1998
is shown here. 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.
