Inventory of federal greenhouse gas emissions fiscal year 2019 to 2020
The Government of Canada is committed to delivering a low-carbon, clean growth economy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We are sharing the emissions we currently track from our operations. Going forward we are committed to sharing a more comprehensive footprint.
Figure 1. Greenhouse gas emissions reported from real property and administrative fleet operations - Text version
Total federal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (in kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) from real property and administrative fleet operations reported under the target in fiscal year between 2005 to 2006 and 2019 to 2020. In fiscal year 2019 to 2020 the federal government reported 1,177 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, which represents a 34.6% reduction since fiscal year 2005 to 2006.
Facilities generated 90% of federal greenhouse gas emissions from real property and administrative fleet operations in the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year
| Fleets | Facilities |

| 10% | 90% |
Figure 2. Reported federal greenhouse gas emissions from real property and administrative fleet operations in fiscal year 2019 to 2020 and reductions since 2005 - Text version
Total federal GHG emissions (in kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) from real property and administrative fleet operations reported under the target in fiscal year 2019 to 2020, by federal organization. GHG emissions are separated by facilities or fleet. The percentage reduction since fiscal year 2005 to 2006 is also shown for each federal organization.
The following table provides an overview of results:
| Federal organization | Emissions from facilities for fiscal year 2019 to 2020 (kt CO2 eq) | Emissions from fleets for fiscal year 2019 to 2020 (kt CO2 eq) | Total emissions for fiscal year 2019 to 2020 (kt CO2 eq) | Percentage change compared with fiscal year 2005 to 2006 |
