In 2023, Canada's nitrous oxide emissions (without land use, land-use change, and forestry) stood at a level below the forecasted 2024 value of 29.56 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a slight downward trend, with emissions expected to decrease annually, reaching 28.72 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year change from 2024 onwards shows a consistent decline in emissions by an average of 0.54% annually. This consistent reduction highlights a positive trajectory towards emission control.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental policies and regulations that may further impact emission levels.
- Technological advancements in reducing emissions.
- Potential economic or industrial changes that could influence the emission profile.
- Public and governmental focus on climate change and sustainability measures, potentially accelerating the reduction in nitrous oxide emissions.
