Canada Total Energy Production & Consumption
Total energy consumption stayed stable from 2022 to 2024, around 302 Mtoe, following a slight progression from 2010 to 2022 (1.1%/year on average at normal climate). At 7.3 toe, Canada's per capita energy consumption is among the highest in the world and almost triple the EU average (2024).

Canada Oil Production & Consumption
Oil production (crude, NGL, and non-conventional oil) increased by 4.4%/year since 2010, reaching 303 Mt in 2024 (+82%). It has more than doubled since 2000. This progression follows the development of non-conventional oil, which accounted for 62% of total oil production in 2024.

Canada Natural Gas Production & Consumption
Canada is the fifth largest natural gas producer in the world, after the United States, Russia, Iran, and China. Its production increased by 2.2%/year on average between 2010 and 2024 to 221 bcm (+ 2.7% in 2024). The production mainly comes from Alberta (70% of the total production).
Given the expansion of shale gas production in the US, Canadian gas exports, all of which go to the US, decreased rapidly between 2005 and 2020 (from 106 bcm to 73 bcm). They have risen again since then, reaching 91 bcm in 2024, close to 2010 level.

Canada Coal and Lignite Production & Consumption
Coal and lignite production has been decreasing since its peak of 79 Mt in 1997 to 42 Mt in 2024. Production is concentrated in the western provinces: 90% of mines are located in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. An increasing share of production is exported (86% in 2024, + 30 pp since 2010), mostly coking coal.
Coal and lignite consumption has been decreasing rapidly since 2008 to 13 Mt in 2024 (-8%/year). Power generation absorbs 70% of consumption and 20% is used in industry.

Canada GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In the 2025 NDC update, Canada pledged to reduce its GHG emissions by 45-50% below 2005 levels in 2035 (up from 40-45% by 2030 in the country's previous NDC of 2021). Canada is also committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
