- Alberta’s electricity sector produces more GHG emissions than any other province because of its size and reliance on coal-fired generation. In 2016, Alberta’s power sector generated 45.2 MT CO2e emissions, or 58% of total Canadian GHG emissions from power generation.
- Crown’s CHP solution reduces emissions by reducing The Derrick’s power mix away from coal and re-captures waste heat.
