Canada's oil and gas sector is pointing to new government numbers that it says proves the industry can increase production and lower emissions at the same time.

The new data comes as Canada’s oil and gas sector — the country’s biggest emitting sector, accounting for 28 per cent of Canada’s overall emissions in 2021 — is under increasing pressure to clean up its operations in order to help the country comply with international emissions reduction pledges and fight climate change.

“If you’re saying you can have higher production and lower your emissions, then you should welcome the emissions cap,” Levin said in an interview.“They’re telling us they can do it. Let’s call their bluff and put in place a strong emissions cap.”Levin added a number of independent studies recently have cast doubt upon the way the oil and gas industry accounts for and reports its methane emissions to government.

But he said that doesn’t take away from the fact that emissions from the sector have been falling, which should be viewed as an achievement.
