In 2022, France’s total CO2 emissions were 305,963,710 metric tons. The main sources were oil (179,745,984 tons, 58.75% of total emissions) and gas (85,580,480 tons, 27.97%). Coal contributed 28,877,789 tons (9.44%), while cement and flaring added 5,994,268 tons (3.66%) and 2,148,580 tons, respectively. Despite being the 22nd largest emitter globally, accounting for 0.824% of worldwide emissions, France’s dependency on oil and gas is significant. This data emphasizes the need to scrutinize the interplay between these emissions and France’s economic activities.
