Global electricity generation emissions 2000-2024, by region
Asia produced more emissions from electricity generation than any other region in 2024, at billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCOâ‚‚e). China alone accounted for roughly ** percent of the region's power sector emissions that year. Asia's power sector emissions have more than tripled since 2000, owing to the fast growing economies in the region and growing energy demand. By comparison, power sector emissions in North America have fallen by more than ** percent during this same period and are now roughly **** times lower than in Asia.
