Canadian fossil fuel production, greenhouse gas emissions, emissions targets and carbon budgets

This spreadsheet shows the amounts of coal, oil and natural gas produced in Canada from 2010 to 2020 using governmental sources. It includes calculations of the corresponding emissions according to a life-cycle analysis. The total greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels extracted annually in Canada (including those burned abroad) are computed. McGlade and Ekins (2015) proposed budgets for the production of each type of fossil fuel in order to provide a 67% chance to limit warming to 2.0 °C by 2100. The proportion of each budget that is already spent is calculated. Emissions targets from 21 scenarios originating from five effort-sharing studies are compared with Canadian 2020 emissions to evaluate the difference. Carbon budgets from 18 scenarios originating from seven studies are compared with Canadian cumulative emissions to evaluate the percentage of the budgets within the period 2010-2050 already emitted.
