Largest methane emitters in Canada 2022, by physical asset
The biggest methane (CH4) emitter in Canada in 2022 was the Montney oil and gas field in British Columbia, with an estimated ** metric tons of methane emitted. Of the ** highest methane emitting assets in Canada that year, only one wasn't an oil and gas field. This was the Donkin Coal Mine in Nova Scotia, which emitted roughly * metric tons of methane. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with a global warming potential roughly ** times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. In total, Canada's ** biggest methane emitters produced the equivalent of ** million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCOâ‚‚e).
