OTTAWA — Canada's latest greenhouse-gas emissions report shows the country making progress toward meeting its next target in 2030 — but there is still a very long way to go.
One million tonnes is about what 240,000 gas-powered passenger vehicles emit over the course of a year.Major economic disruptions due to the pandemic saw emissions plummet, particularly in 2020 as planes were grounded, cruise ships moored, and individuals all over the world confined to their homes to try and limit the spread of the virus.
Stewart Elgie, the associate director of the University of Ottawa’s Institute of the Environment, said the sharp reduction since 2019 is significant because that's the year the national carbon price began. Emissions from both conventional oil production and natural gas production fell about 20 per cent each in that same time period.
