About this data

How to read this measureThis is the physical-flow account, not the ECCC National Inventory Report or a consumption footprint. Methane and nitrous oxide use global warming potentials of 28 and 265. 2009–2022 data were revised in December 2025. Totals may differ from component sums due to rounding.

These are the selections used for this answer. The full Statistics Canada table (38-10-0097-01) contains other measures and breakdowns.

Adapted from Statistics Canada, Physical flow account for greenhouse gas emissions, 2025-12-11. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.

How this answer was calculatedThe headline compares the first and last observations shown. Absolute change is the last source value minus the first; relative change is (last ÷ first − 1) × 100. Intermediate observations remain visible in the chart and exact values. This is descriptive and does not identify causes.
