The objective of this study is to examine the cost of meeting proposed reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and evaluate how new coal technologies contribute to reducing these emissions in the Canadian electric power sector.
This study examines emission permit trading and the feasibility of adopting this tool for greenhouse emissions control in Canada. It outlines the scientific controversy over the magnitude and immediacy of global warming, the role and sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and the current status of Canadian commitments and policies on global warming. The theoretical background is explained and the United States experience with this market incentive tool is examined. The potential for establishing a permit market in Canada is analyzed using carbon dioxide as a case study.

Canada's electric power industry is going through some important changes in its regulatory and business environment, the effects of which will fully appear in the 1990s. This study examines those general factors which will influence its development, focusing on the critical or fundamental electric power planning issues for the next decade, the point at which major decision points occur, and how the industry will respond. The critical issues facing the industry are in the areas of trade, non-utility generation and demand-side management, with the environment the cornerstone of the drive to increase efficiency. An electricity generation planning model of the electricity sector in Canada and the northern U.S., incorporating various generation technologies including hydro, nuclear, coal and gas was developed which gives a good indication of the comparative costs and benefits of greater electricity trade.
