Global and Canadian context for energy demand analysis : Analyse de la demande d'énergie : contextes mondial et canadien

Its purpose is to promote safety and security, environmental protection and efficient energy infrastructure and markets in the Canadian public interest within the mandate set by Parliament in the regulation of pipelines, energy development and trade. [...] A summary of the new provincial energy and environment strategies is attached as Appendix 2. The most notable energy demand development at the federal level is based on Canada’s Clean Air Regulatory Agenda included in the government report, Turning the Corner: An Action Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gases and Air Pollution10. [...] Carbon capture and storage and increased renewable energy actually provide the majority of the emissions reduction, however, energy efficiency is still a major component. [...] Attitudes Towards Energy Changes in public attitudes and behaviours towards the use of energy has perhaps the most significant influence on energy demand, but behaviours are the most difficult to quantify for the purposes of analysis. [...] Understanding Energy Demand: Exploring the Resource Potential Understanding energy demand dynamics requires a thorough evaluation of historical demand trends, consideration of the hundreds of interacting elements of energy demand that can combine to produce major impacts, and making many assumptions on future trends.
