Public electricity and heat production

In Spain, the sub-sector Public electricity and heat production (part of Energy) was responsible for 31.22 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 10.8% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (65.07 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 52%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 21.69 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 69.3% of Energy emissions in Spain.
