Transportation accounted for 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in France in 2021, making it the most polluting sector in the country. By comparison, the energy sector only accounted for around 10 percent of France's GHG emissions in 2021. This is mainly due to the use of low-carbon nuclear energy, which accounts for more than 60 percent of France's electricity mix.
