Public electricity and heat production

In Germany, the sub-sector Public electricity and heat production (part of Energy) was responsible for 212.47 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 27.9% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (340.78 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 37.7%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 40.91 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 85.8% of Energy emissions in Germany.
