Reuters reporting that oil and gas producers in Alberta flared (i.e. burned off excess) natural gas to the tune of 912.7 million cubic metres in 2024.
By my math, that would emit about 1.8 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
Or roughly the equivalent of Alberta's entire cement industry.

🌿🛝Valleyview Park is one of my favourite places in the city because it’s a multi-use green space surrounded by lots of housing choices (townhomes, multifamily and detached homes) that work for every kind of Calgarian.
