The power sector in France emitted 57.3 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour (gCO2/KWh) of electricity generated in 2020. Projections show that in 2050, France's power sector will emit roughly 23.2 gCO2/KWh. One reason for France's relatively low carbon intensity is its use of nuclear power. Unlike fossil fuels such as coal, nuclear power does not produce direct CO2 emissions. Nuclear power in France accounts for more than 70 percent of the country's total power generation.
