| | Environment Canada - GHG - CANADA'S 2004 GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY |
 | | Between 2003 and 2004, there were increases in some sectors (notably Industrial Processes and Agriculture), but the overall growth was minor, owing mainly to significantly reduced emissions from electricity production (less coal and more nuclear generation) and, to a lesser extent, a reduced demand for heating fuel because of a warmer winter. |
 | | In 2004, although electricity demand increased, GHG emissions from electricity generation decreased by 9 Mt. This was due to a reduction in coal-fired generation. |
 | | In 2004, the number of heating degree-days (HDDs), an indicator of the necessity for space heating due to the severity of cold weather, was down 2.3% on a national basis compared with 2003. |
