Canada's emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes have been consistently highest from oil. In 2023, emissions from oil use in the North American country totaled 237 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂). While emissions from this fuel have remained relatively stable in recent decades, those from natural gas have experienced notable growth.
