You will also learn about Manitoba's Large Final Emitters (LFE) .
In 2005
In 2005, Manitoba's greenhouse gas emissions came from these sectors and in these proportions:
- 63% - Energy – from burning fossil fuels
- 30% - Agriculture – mostly methane (NH4) from livestock and nitrous oxide (N2O) from soils
- 5% - Waste disposal – mostly methane (NH4) from landfills and wastewater
