  • Carbon emissions are often measured (and taxed) using Carbon Dioxide Equivalents (CO₂e), a unit of measurement that enables standardized measurement of the climate impact of different greenhouse gases. Carbon Dioxide Equivalents are defined by the US EPA as “the number of metric tons of CO₂ emissions with the same global warming potential as one metric ton of another greenhouse gas.”
  • Canada’s 2023 value of 50.57USD was calculated by first converting the standard 2023 charge of 123.90 CAD per thousand cubic meters (10³m³) to a per-ton CO₂e value using the conversion factor of one ton CO₂ = 556.2m³, so one 10³m³ = 1.8 tons CO₂e, yielding a tax of 68.91 CAN (123.90*.5562) per ton of CO₂e. This was then converted from CAN to USD using March 2024 rates to achieve an ultimate value of $50.57USD per ton of CO₂e. Canada’s 2024 value was computed using the same formula and the June 13, 2025 CAN to USD conversion rate.
  • Carbon taxes often change annually. Canada’s, for example, will rise from 123.90 CAD to 152.50, 181.10, and 209.70 from 2024-2026.
