Industrial Consumption of Energy (ICE) Survey – Summary Report of Energy Use in the Canadian Manufacturing Sector, 1995-2007 – December 2009

PDF Version | Table of Contents | Next Page

1 Introduction

Every year, Statistics Canada conducts the Industrial Consumption of Energy (ICE) survey, which collects energy use data from establishments¹ in Canada’s Manufacturing sector.² The ICE survey is currently co-sponsored by the Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Environment Canada (EC). The survey is an essential tool for monitoring the evolution of energy consumption by manufacturing industries and therefore helps fulfill part of the OEE’s mandate to strengthen and expand Canada’s commitment to energy conservation and energy efficiency.

This summary report examines energy consumption patterns for the Canadian Manufacturing sector using the results of the ICE 2007 survey. The estimates are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and include all 21 subsectors of the Manufacturing sector (NAICS 31-33).³

Other initiatives that gather information on energy use by the Manufacturing sector include the annual Report on Energy Supply and Demand in Canada (RESD) from Statistics Canada, the annual report from the Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation (CIPEC), reports produced by the Canadian Industrial Energy End-Use Data and Analysis Centre (CIEEDAC) at Simon Fraser University, NRCan’s Energy Use Data Handbook and the Energy Efficiency Trends in Canada.

For more information about ICE’s methodology and history, as well as all the other reports mentioned above, refer to the
