GHG spotlight on oil and gas

GHG spotlight on oil and gas
GHG emissions from oil and gas production have gone up 23% between 2005 and 2017, largely from increased oil sands production, particularly in-situ extraction.


The Government of Canada has committed to reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by 40% to 45% from 2012 levels by 2025. New regulations limiting methane emissions from fugitive sources such as leaks and venting will apply to the oil and gas sector beginning in 2020.
