Electricity and heat accounts for approximately 25 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest sector. This chart shows the top 25 emitting countries (including the EU-27) of electricity and heat-related CO2 emissions, in both absolute and per capita terms. Together, these countries account for 91 percent of global emissions from this sector, with the ten largest emitters accounting for 81 percent of the global total.
