Canada relied on fossil fuels for 21% of its electricity in 2024. Its emissions per capita, 2.8 tCO2, were over 50% higher than the global average.
Canada’s power sector emissions fell in the last two decades due to declining coal generation, which has largely been replaced with gas and wind power.
Canada aims for 72% renewable electricity by 2030, which is above the global share of 60% renewable electricity set out in the IEA Net Zero Emissions scenario.
