Where Morocco's CO₂ comes from
Oil is the largest source. Oil dominates — mostly transport fuel, so electrifying vehicles matters most here.
Per person: Morocco vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Morocco's consumption-based footprint was 69.9 million tonnes (1.85 t per person) in 2023. That is almost the same as its territorial emissions — trade roughly balances out.
Primary energy use: 7,257 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
