Where Croatia's CO₂ comes from
Oil is the largest source. Oil dominates — mostly transport fuel, so electrifying vehicles matters most here.
Per person: Croatia vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Croatia's consumption-based footprint was 23.7 million tonnes (6.09 t per person) in 2023. Croatia is a net importer of emissions: its consumption causes 28% more CO₂ than it emits at home.
Primary energy use: 26,615 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
