Sub-process fossil fuel distribution for heavy industry

Context To reach net zero by 2050 in heavy industry, it is important to better understand the energy consumption profile and greenhouse gas emissions for each sector. The goal of this work is to provide the sub-process fossil energy consumption for the following heavy industrial sectors: paper manufacturing (NAICS 322), primary production of alumina and aluminum (NAICS 331313), iron and steel mills and ferro-alloy manufacturing (NAICS 331110), lime manufacturing (NAICS 327410), cement manufacturing (NAICS 327310), petroleum refineries (NAICS 324110), iron ore mining (NAICS 212210), gold and silver ore mining (NAICS 212220). Methodology The secondary energy and emissions data is mainly collected from the comprehensive energy utilisation database (CEUD) of the Office of Energy Efficiency [1]. The national inventory report of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is used to validate the emissions data and offer insights on process emissions, as well as the number of facilities to be considered in our list per NAICS code [2]. The energy future report of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is used to view the total energy consumption for industrial sector [3], [4]. The reference…
