Survey time period

1965 to 2025

Supplementary notes

Excludes Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania prior to 1985 and Croatia and Slovenia prior to 1990. Data also excludes the UK.

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.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from energy in the European Union remained about the same from 2024 to 2025, with **** billion metric tons (GtCO₂) of carbon dioxide emitted in 2025. EU CO₂ emissions are now at their lowest level in more than 60 years.

EU emissions reductions

EU CO₂ emissions have decreased by more than ** percent since 1990. One of the biggest factors for these reductions has been the transition to cleaner energy sources, which has seen EU energy supply GHG emissions fall by some ** percent since 1990. The EU is aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050

Biggest emitters in the EU

The biggest contributor to CO₂ emissions in the EU is Germany. Although emissions in the region's largest economy have decreased by around ** percent since 1990, Germany still produces considerably more CO₂ than any other member state. This is mostly due to Germany's energy mix still being reliant on coal.
