As Quebec has few significant deposits of [[fossil fuel]]s,{{sfn|Whitmore|Pineau|2020|p=10}} all [[hydrocarbon]]s are imported. [[Refinery|Refiners']] sourcing strategies have varied over time and have depended on market conditions. In the 1990s, Quebec purchased much of its oil from the [[Brent Crude|North Sea]]. Since 2015, it now consumes almost exclusively the crude produced in [[western Canada]] and the United States.{{sfn|Whitmore|Pineau|2020|p=9}} Quebec's two active refineries have a total capacity of 402,000 barrels per day, greater than local needs which stood at 365,000 barrels per day in 2018.{{sfn|Whitmore|Pineau|2020|p=10}}

Thanks to hydroelectricity, Quebec is the world's fourth largest [[Aluminium foil|aluminum]] producer and creates 90% of Canadian aluminum. Three companies make aluminum here: [[Rio Tinto (corporation)|Rio Tinto]], [[Alcoa]] and Aluminium Alouette. Their 9 ''alumineries'' produce 2,9 million tons of aluminum annually and employ 30,000 workers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=l'Innovation |first=Ministère de l'Économie et de |title=Aluminium / Présentation de l'industrie de l'aluminium - MEI |url=https://www.economie.gouv.qc.ca/objectifs/informer/par-secteur-dactivite/metallurgie/aluminium/page/le-secteur-19764/?no_cache=1&tx_igaffichagepages_pi1%5Bmode%5D=single&tx_igaffichagepages_pi1%5BbackPid%5D=19755&tx_igaffichagepages_pi1%5BcurrentCat%5D= |access-date=March 5, 2022 |website=Ministère de l'Économie et de l'Innovation |language=fr}}</ref>
