Greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas use in Canada surpassed 150 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent in 2020, more than any other secondary energy source in the North American country that year. This was followed by motor gasoline – including ethanol – with emissions amounting to some 95.7 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent. Secondary energy is that generated through the conversion of primary energies.
