The electricity sector is the main driver of emissions reduction, thanks to the coal phase out. Alberta continues to generate more greenhouse gas pollution than any other province in the country, accounting for nearly 40 per cent of Canada’s emissions. The majority of the emissions increase from 2021 can be attributed to Ontario.
