EU Emission Tracker

Public electricity and heat production

In France, the sub-sector Public electricity and heat production (part of Energy) was responsible for 33.38 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 7.8% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (49.78 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 32.9%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 19.98 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions from incineration of various fuels (oil, gas, biomass, ...) for public electricity and heat production.

This sub-sector accounts for 77% of Energy emissions in France.
