We get questions
April 15, 2010
The Centre for Energy’s portal is loaded with factual and statistical information about Canada’s energy system. But we still get questions, like this one.
Q: How much aviation fuel does Canada consume?
A: In 2008, Canada consumed almost seven million cubic metres of aviation fuel, or about 43.7 million barrels. This includes aviation gasoline, kerosene-type aviation turbo fuel and naphtha-type aviation turbo fuel. About 92 per cent of the total was kerosene turbo fuel, the fuel used in jet passenger planes.
