Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in France is 37.11 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.1% on the previous year and down 20.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in France peaked at 153.41 Mt CO2e in 1970 and was at its lowest, 34.16 Mt CO2e, in 2020.
That places France 23rd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
