Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Canada is 0.1643 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.3% on the previous year and up 20.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Canada peaked at 0.1643 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0212 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Canada 19th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
