Carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas (GHG) emitted in Canada, accounting for 80 percent of the country's total GHG emissions in 2021. Despite accounting for only 14 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, methane is capable of absorbing up to 100 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over a five-year period.
