Footnotes:
2,"A dense, black coal, often with well-defined bands of bright and dull material with a moisture content usually less than 20%. Used primarily for generating electricity, making coke and space heating."
3,A black coal used primarily for thermal generation with a moisture content between 15% and 30%.
4,A brownish-black coal of low rank containing 30% to 40% moisture and volatile matter. Used almost exclusively for electric power generation.
5,"Wood and wood energy used as fuel, including round wood (cord wood), lignin, wood scraps from furniture and window frame manufacturing, wood chips, bark, sawdust, forest residues, charcoal and pulp waste."
9,"Includes all distillate type fuels for power burners, fuel oil number 2 (heating oil number 2), fuel oil number 3 (heating oil number 3), furnace fuel oil, gas oils and light industrial fuel (Harmonized System of Classification code 2710.00.52)."
10,"All grades of residual type fuels including low sulphur (with sulphur content lower than 1%) for both steam and diesel engines: Bunker B and Bunker C, fuel oils numbers 4, 5 and 6, and residual fuel oil (Harmonized System of Classification code 2710.00.6)."
11,All grades of distillate fuel sold for diesel engine use including low sulphur content (with sulphur content lower than 0.05%) (Harmonized System of Classification code 2710.00.51).
14,A mixture of hydrocarbons (principally methane) and small quantities of various hydrocarbons existing in the gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in underground reservoirs.
16,"On March 21st 2016, provincial and territorial values for fuel types were corrected for reference years 2011 to 2014."
