This study evaluates the carbon footprint associated with the procurements under the authority of PSPC-Quebec Region (PSPC-QC), in order to identify those that have the largest impact and on which it would be a priority to act.
In line with the federal government’s commitments to climate change and environmental protection, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has to address the ecological and social aspects of federal procurement and seek to reduce their associated greenhouse gases emissions (GHG). This study evaluates the life cycle GHG (the carbon footprint) associated with the procurements under the authority of PSPC-Quebec Region (PSPC-QC), in order to identify those that have the largest impact and on which it would be a priority to act (e.g. via targeted criteria in its calls for tender).

Biomass energy, or bioenergy, is energy produced from renewable biomass, for which the assessment of environmental impacts through life cycle assessment (LCA) presents a number of challenges, in particular methodological ones. The general objectives of this study are to analyze current practices for carrying out LCAs of biomass energy, and to provide recommendations on current and future best practices.
Food choices have a significant climate impact, which can be unknown to the public. The CIRAIG, commissioned by Polytechnique Montréal, has been tasked with calculating the climate-warming impact of the menus offered by the cafeteria, aiming to enable students to understand the impact of their meals and change their eating habits to reduce it.
