Austria produced 55.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO2) emissions in 2020. This was a reduction of 13 percent compared to 2019 levels, and was a direct result of lockdown restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Emissions in Austria peaked at 75 MtCO2 in 2003, having increased by almost 50 percent compared to 1970 levels. On average, Austrians produce the equivalent of 9.2 metric tons of CO2 emissions per capita.

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.
