  ENERGY EFFICIENCY TRENDS IN CANADA 1990 TO 1996
The balance of this report presents a brief summary of sectoral trends in energy use and energy intensity, followed by an analysis of sectoral emission trends where electricity use is attributed an emissions factor reflecting the average mix of fuels used in its generation.
Weather increased space heating requirements by 87 petajoules as the winter of 1996 was colder than normal and the winter of 1990 significantly warmer than normal.
The effect of energy intensity gave rise to an increase in energy use of 1.3 percent, or 35 petajoules, while the energy intensity effect for the industrial sector is positive, this does not mean that energy efficiency in the industrial sector has deteriorated.

Diesel (road, rail and marine) is the second largest type of consumption, at 26 per cent of the total, followed by natural gas and jet fuel at 10 and nine per cent, respectively.
As Figure 5-6 indicates, Ontario is by far the largest consumer, with 857 petajoules in 1999, or 34 per cent of the Canadian total.
Quebec is the second largest consumer, with 459 petajoules (19 per cent), followed by British Columbia with 372 petajoules (15 per cent) and Alberta with 363 petajoules (14.6 per cent).

The gas is brought by pipeline from the Cooper Basin in the far south west of Queensland to the population centre of Brisbane with a spur from the Roma fields to Gladstone and Rockhampton.
A total of 300 petajoules of Cooper Basin gas will be supplied over 10 years to the Moomba gasfield for distribution to South Australia.
In the north of Queensland, about 13 petajoules is used at Gladstone (principally for Queensland Alumina Limited) and in the south about 14 petajoules is used near Brisbane (principally for Astral Pacific [Incitec] for the manufacture of nitrogen fertiliser).

 Press conference: Environmental-Economic Accounting 1999
In 1995, the consumption of primary energy, that is first of all the consumption of coal, crude oil, gas, nuclear energy and renewable energies based on solar and wind power totalled 14,269 petajoules, 71% of which were used in production and 29% consumed directly by households.
Another 3,677 petajoules of energy were consumed abroad to produce goods to be exported to Germany.
On condition that energy consumption in 1995 was fully assigned to the final expenditure of the gross domestic product, 57% were consumed by households, 24% were used for producing goods to be exported, 8% for the final consumption of government (i.e.

 smh.com.au - The Sydney Morning Herald
Market sources say TXU is likely to sign with the PNG consortium for between 20 and 40 petajoules of gas a year.
But if the company signs for 40 petajoules then market watchers say that will be an indication TXU is planning to expand its Torrens Island power generator near Adelaide.
If TXU were to sign up for 40 petajoules a year, this would probably be enough for the consortium to give the PNG pipeline the go-ahead.

Energex chief Greg Maddock said he had been negotiating the deal for two years and the amount of gas Energex was prepared to take would depend on the number of customers it was able to sign up.
Energex will take a minimum of 24 petajoules a year but the final figure could be much larger.
If Energex took the lesser amount then Exxon would have 85 petajoules accounted for, but if it took 60 petajoules that would be enough for pipeline construction to go ahead.

 The Daily, Thursday, September 30, 2004. Energy supply and demand
Canada's appetite for energy continued to grow in 2003 as consumption rose 3.0% from a year earlier, fuelled by gains among the nation's industries and growing residential and commercial activity.
However, final demand for electricity increased 1.7% to 1 899 petajoules in 2003 compared with 1 867 petajoules a year earlier.
The increase was because of the colder than normal weather at the end of the 2003 heating season as well as the expanding Canadian economy.

 abare - australian energy statistics
In contained energy terms, Australia’s exports of fl coal in 2004-05 are estimated to have risen by 6 per cent to 6595 petajoules (231 million tonnes), from 6208 petajoules (218 million tonnes) in 2003-04.
This decline in the ‘energy intensity’ of the Australian economy can be attributed to two main factors — greater energy efficiency through technological improvements and fuel switching, and the rapid growth of less energy intensive sectors, such as services, relative to the more moderate growth of more energy intensive sectors such as manufacturing and mining.
Australia’s primary energy consumption (total domestic availability) is estimated to have risen by 1.9 per cent to 5525 petajoules in 2004-05, from 5422 petajoules in 2003-04.

NSW, is the only state in Australia which does not have its own gas reserves and uses 110 -120 petajoules of gas (cf 215 in Victoria) purchased from South Australia and Queensland.
Initial capacity is 55 petajoules increasing to 100 petajoules.
Coal industry specialists suggest up to 5 petajoules of coal bed methane (98 per cent methane) is available per square kilometre above the vast coal basins - equivalent to at least 400 000 petajoules (equivalent to 400 trillion cubic feet, though only one third realistically recoverable) over 600 km of easter seaboard.

 IEER Report | Draft Power in South Asian Food Grain Production
Since grazing requirements of non-working cattle tend to be considerable lower than those for draft animals, we can make an order of magnitude estimate of feed requirements as being roughly double the amount needed for draft animals alone.
Thus, the energy requirements for all cattle are on the order of 3,600 to 7,200 petajoules per year.
If we assume that one-fourth of the requirements come from grazing in fields and that half of these grazing requirements come from grazing on lands other than fields (including common lands), then the energy requirements met from land that serves as pasture can be estimated.

 Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Shell sells part of stake in New Zealand field to Genesis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
New Zealand uses about 205 PetaJoules of gas a year, most of which comes from the Maui field, which is expected to run down from about 2005.
A string of new gas-fired power stations is creating new demand for gas, and Shell's Pohokura field isn't expected to be producing until 2004.
Genesis already holds gas entitlements from Contact Energy, and last year signed a nine-year agreement to buy 91 petajoules of gas from Natural Gas, the New Zealand unit of Australian Gas Light.

 Drill reports indicate rich Australian gas find - Business Asia by Bloomberg - International Herald Tribune
SYDNEY Santos, the biggest natural gas producer in Australia, may have found 30 percent more natural gas at its Henry discovery off southeastern Australia than it had expected, according to a report by Goldman Sachs JBWere.
The Henry field in the Otway Basin may hold about 130 petajoules, or 123 billion cubic feet, of gas, rather than the 100 petajoules estimated before any wells were drilled, Goldman said in an Aug. 1 report.
"The pre-drill estimate was 100 petajoules, although the good drilling result suggests Henry could be larger, perhaps about 130 petajoules," Anthony Bishop, a Melbourne-based oil and gas analyst, said in the report.
