CANADA’S ENERGY USE Canada ranks 2nd in the world in energy use per person
Why!? Because… We live in a northern climate Huge country (use a lot of energy for transportation) Advanced industrial economy High standard of living Energy is relatively cheap in Canada so we waste it – we value
comfort and convenience

ENERGY SOURCES
1. Conventional Energy Sources – widely used(Responsible for almost all energy use)
- Examples: Oil, natural gas, coal, hydroelectricity & nuclear power
2. Alternative energy sources – new, clean, renewable
- Examples: Solar, Wind & biomass energy

FOSSIL FUELSPros Used globally, for more than a hundred years World economies are driven by sale of fossil
fuels Today’s technology is based on fossil fuels
alone

USE FOR COAL Worldwide more electricity is generated from
coal than any other source. Coal generates 41% of the world's electricity. ~70% of world's steel production depends on
coal. Canadian coal is exported to 21 countries on
five continents with an annual value of approximately $2 billion.

OIL (fossil fuel) Formed from ancient microscopic plants
and plankton that lived in the ocean and saltwater seas millions of years ago
![Page 20: E NERGY. S OURCES OF E NERGY Can you find the different sources of energy illustrated in this drawing?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfc21a28abf838ca4980/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Off the coast of Newfoundland, the Hibernia is the world's largest oil platform in terms of weight, at a total of 1.2 million tons. This consists of a 37,000 tons integrated topsides facility mounted on a 600,000 ton gravity base structure along with 450,000 tons of solid ballast which was added to secure it in place.
Inside the gravity base structure are storage tanks for 1.3 million bbl of crude oil. The shape of the base is intended to prevent damage by icebergs.

OIL SANDS
Discovered by Aboriginal people who used the tar-like substance to waterproof their clothing and canoes.
Commercial development started 1960s.
Extracting oil from the sands produces more greenhouse gases than drilling, requires a lot of water and cutting down of boreal forest

OIL
CONS Rising cost of extraction Oil extraction can be environmentally
damaging Accidents when transporting crude oil (tanker
ships cause marine damage, pipelines, rail) Produces carbon dioxide when burned

NUCLEAR
Canada Deuterium-Uranium or CANDU reactors are used in Canada. The unique design uses compressed uranium dioxide pellets that are baked at high temperatures. The pellets are loaded into a metal tube that acts as a concentrated source of fuel. The reactors are highly radioactive so the reactor core is heavily shielded to protect the station's operators.
Two types of waste are produced: high level and low level (varies based on how much radiation they produce)

NUCLEAR: Pros
Most efficient power source by land area More efficient at transforming energy into
electricity than coal plants and renewable energy sources.
Nuclear plants don't emit carbon dioxide or other GHG.
Uranium reserves are abundant in Canada.
![Page 28: E NERGY. S OURCES OF E NERGY Can you find the different sources of energy illustrated in this drawing?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfc21a28abf838ca4980/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
NUCLEAR CONS
Chemical processing of uranium ore leaves residues that can lead to radon (radioactive gas) exposure to the public.
Cooling water heats up rivers and reservoirs, causing potential harm to aquatic life.
Outdated reactors: lack containment features, computer-controlled instruments and adequate fire-prevention systems.

WIND
Pros: No emissions or waste Abundant and renewable. Turbines can be set up without disturbing
ecosystems. Existing technology is relatively high output
and affordable. Ontario Provincial government promotion

WIND TURBINES
Cons: Wind dependent (output proportional to wind
speed). Not feasible for many locations (Best on coastlines/ high
ridges) NIMBY: unsightly and noisy Main sound comes from the aerodynamic
swoosh of the blades passing the tower. Turbines now designed to NOT look like
appealing perches; reduction in bird deaths

SOLAR ENERGY: DISADVANTAGES
Production is weather-dependent Inefficient in low sun and cloudy conditions Batteries are needed to store energy to cover
those times when solar is not producing Large areas are required to produce industrial
volume of energy; problem if this involves agricultural land; creates solar desert
Solar panels have short life-span; have to be replaced after 3-5 years
Creation of solar panels requires use of non-renewable materials

agriculture, forestry and food processing). Not dependent on fossil fuels. Cons: Burning biomass causes some polluting
gases and liquid waste collection.
