Catalyst Crofton Paper Mill
Not included in inventory and modelling as emissions dwarf most North Cowichan emissions. As a facility that emits over 10,000 tonnes annually, the mill is required to report to the Province.
Agriculture
Included in inventory and modelling (Scope 1 emissions). Most emissions due to livestock. Agriculture is largely under Provincial jurisdiction.

NC has 5 big moves: 1. Electric vehicles (personal and commercial) 2. Replace natural gas with renewable natural gas and hydrogen 3. Increase industrial energy efficiency 4. Increase carbon sequestration in forests 5. Home energy efficiency retrofits (including heat pumps) These are responsible for 94% of NC’s emissions reductions.
35,000 tCO2e agricultural emissions remain in 2050 33,000 tCO2e industrial emissions remain in 2050 Largely under federal and provincial control NC has 16 small moves that are responsible for 6% of emissions reductions. All moves are necessary to reach the emissions reduction target. 3,100 tCO2e emissions gap to reach target can be covered by further reductions in transportation, agriculture, and/or industrial sectors. 8,300 tCO2e remain in transportation sector – potential for further reductions
