Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Norway is 1.6 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 3.0% on the previous year and down 24.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Norway peaked at 2.74 Mt CO2e in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0.0859 Mt CO2e, in 1974.
Norway ranks 114th of 194 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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