Changes 2016-2050
Driver Main Effects (Energy and Emissions Focus)
Population Growth Increased: • Energy use in homes and transportation
• Demand for commercial services (increased commercial building energy use)
• Transportation services demand (transit, active transportation infrastructure)
• Water use and waste/wastewater production
Employment Growth Increased: • Demand for commercial services (increased commercial building energy use)
• Commuting and associated energy use
• Transportation services demand (transit, active transportation infrastructure)
• Industrial energy use
Housing Growth
(greenfield)Required: • Electrical grid extension
• Natural gas line extension
• Potable water system extension
• Wastewater system extension
• Transportation infrastructure extension
• Increased waste collection services
• Increased personal vehicle kilometres travelled
Main Emissions Drivers
Emission Sources Considered
Catalyst Crofton Paper Mill
Not included in inventory and modelling as
emissions dwarf most North Cowichan
emissions.
As a facility that emits over 10,000 tonnes
annually, the mill is required to report to the
Province.
Agriculture
Included in inventory and modelling (Scope 1
emissions).
Most emissions due to livestock.
Agriculture is largely under Provincial
jurisdiction.

Summary
NC has 5 big moves: 1. Electric vehicles (personal and commercial)
2. Replace natural gas with renewable natural gas and hydrogen
3. Increase industrial energy efficiency
4. Increase carbon sequestration in forests
5. Home energy efficiency retrofits (including heat pumps)
These are responsible for 94% of NC’s emissions reductions.
Summary
35,000 tCO2e agricultural emissions remain in 2050
33,000 tCO2e industrial emissions remain in 2050
Largely under federal and
provincial control
NC has 16 small moves that are responsible for 6% of emissions reductions.
All moves are necessary to reach the emissions reduction target.
3,100 tCO2e emissions gap to reach target can be covered by further reductions in transportation,
agriculture, and/or industrial sectors.
8,300 tCO2e remain in transportation sector – potential for further reductions
