Canadians Are World’s Biggest Gas Guzzlers: Report
Canada’s drivers emit the most carbon per kilometre driven in the world, and it’s due to our taste for SUVs and pickup trucks, according to research from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
An IEA study released earlier this spring found that the passenger vehicles on Canada’s roads emit 206 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre driven, higher than the second-place U.S., at 198 grams per kilometre, and about 50 per cent higher than many Western European countries.
