On average, the global power sector produced *** grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour (gCOâ‚‚/kWh) of electricity generated in 2024. Carbon intensities vary greatly around the world due to the range of energy sources used. For example, India's power sector, which is primarily fueled by coal, produced ****gCOâ‚‚/kWh that year. In comparison, Norway's power sector, which derives about ** percent of its electricity from hydropower, had a carbon intensity of just ** ²µ°ä°¿â‚‚/°ì°Â³ó.
