Where Bangladesh's CO₂ comes from
Gas is the largest source.
Per person: Bangladesh vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Bangladesh's consumption-based footprint was 168 million tonnes (0.98 t per person) in 2023. Bangladesh is a net importer of emissions: its consumption causes 61% more CO₂ than it emits at home.
Primary energy use: 3,048 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
