CO2 emissions from electricity and heat production, total (% of total fuel combustion)
This indicator captures the total carbon dioxide emissions attributable to the generation of electricity and heat, encompassing emissions from three key sectors: main activity producers, unallocated autoproducers, and other energy industries. Main activity producers, typically serving public needs, generate significant CO2 emissions through electricity generation and combined heat and power systems. Autoproducers, on the other hand, primarily generate energy for their own operational support, impacting emissions distribution across various industries. Additionally, other energy industries account for emissions from petroleum refineries, coal mining, and natural gas extraction, among others. Accurate accounting is critical to avoid double counting emissions between energy production and industrial processes, thus providing a clearer picture of carbon outputs related to fuel combustion in the energy sector.
