Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial processes in Canada is 31.89 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.0% on the previous year and up 13.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial processes in Canada peaked at 32.48 Mt CO2e in 2007 and was at its lowest, 17.5 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Canada 16th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
