Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from energy in France fell roughly seven percent in 2023, to 254.6 million metric tons. Since 1990, France has cut its annual CO₂ emissions by more than 30 percent.
Transportation is the largest source of emissions in France, with road transportation emissions emitting some 120 MtCO₂ in 2022, the second-highest volume in the EU. The energy industry is often a considerable source of emissions in many countries, but due to France’s use of nuclear energy, emissions from this sector are relatively low.

Exclusive Premium Statistic
To access all Premium Statistics, you need a paid Statista Account
According to the source, the carbon emissions in this statistic reflect only those through consumption of oil, gas and coal, and are based on standard global average conversion factors. This does not allow for any carbon that is sequestered, for other sources of carbon emissions, or for emissions of other greenhouse gases.
This statistic was compiled using several releases of the publication. Figures were restated based on the latest edition of the report.
