Oil and Gas Production In Ontario and Canada

Integrating energy-efficient practices, such as hang drying your clothes, leads instead of using the laundry machine leads to less energy consumption, which leads to less oil and gas production.

Long Term Trends

Bar Graph Emmissions

From the Canadian Government:

"GHG emissions from oil and gas production have gone up 23% between 2000 and 2018, largely from increased oil sands production, particularly in-situ extraction (para. 2)."

Current Projects

Peter Sutherland Sr. Hydro Station

Ranney Falls Project

Niagara Pump Generating Station Reservoir

Ontario's Current Natural Oil and Gas Production

According to the CAPP, Ontario can refine up to 20% of Canada's oil barrels and the oil sand sector nearly spent two billion dollars providing goods and services in Ontario in 2016 to 2017

Government Policy

Federal Government: Phase Out Coal.

According to the Canadian Government (n.d.), Canada has committed to completely phase out its coal-fired power plants by 2030.

Government Criticism

The Ontario government has had critics of its transition away from natural gas according to McIntosh (2020), reporter for the National Observer. A coalition of 29 groups wrote the government should fund low-cost renewable resources and make a more aggressive transition to hyroelectricity.

What You Can Do

Use Energy Wisely

Renewable Energy

Helping your local community invest in green technologies, like wind turbines reduce the dependency on Natural Gas Production.
