largest CO₂ emissions in the EU by far. In 2021, Germany produced more than twice the emissions released by the next most polluting member states – Italy, Poland, France, and Spain.
Germany produced 628.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) emissions in 2021. Although emissions in Germany have fallen considerably in recent decades, the country still has the Carbon dioxide emissions in selected countries in the European Union from 1970 to 2021 (in million metric tons)
