Canadian Emissions Report Shows Oil and Gas Drop, Overall Emissions Rise
What happened
The Canadian Climate Institute released its annual national emissions report in Ottawa. The report found that Canada’s oil and gas sector accounted for lower emissions in 2025, despite production increases. However, overall national emissions rose because of increased reliance on natural gas for home heating.
Why it matters
The report provides early estimates of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions for 2025. The finding that the building sector accounts for 18% of national emissions, combined with the shift to natural gas, could influence future energy policy and regulatory requirements.
A new finding indicates that the building sector is responsible for 18% of the national emissions.
