Supplementary notes

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.

Citation formats

Italy produced *** million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) from energy use in 2023, a decrease of *** percent from the previous year. CO₂ emissions in Italy grew by more than ** percent between 1970 and 2005, to reach a peak of MtCO₂. Since then, however, Italy's emissions have declined by more than ** percent.

How has Italy reduced emissions?

Italy's falling emissions over the past two decades are mainly due to changes in the country's energy sector. Between 2005 and 2023, power sector emissions in Italy fell by ** percent, owing to the reduced use of coal-fired electricity generation and the transition to cleaner energy sources. This has seen Italy's power sector carbon intensity reduce by roughly ** percent since 2005. Italy has committed to stopping electricity generation from coal by the end of 2025 nationwide.

EU member state emission comparisons

Italy was the second-biggest carbon polluter in the European Union in 2023, behind only Germany and ahead of Poland. That year, Italy accounted for approximately ** percent of total EU CO₂ emissions from energy use.��
