Where Kyrgyzstan's CO₂ comes from
Coal is the largest source. A coal-heavy mix means power generation is the main lever for cutting emissions.
Per person: Kyrgyzstan vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Kyrgyzstan's consumption-based footprint was 19.2 million tonnes (2.71 t per person) in 2023. Kyrgyzstan is a net importer of emissions: its consumption causes 72% more CO₂ than it emits at home.
Primary energy use: 7,652 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
