Where Philippines'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: Philippines vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Philippines's consumption-based footprint was 212 million tonnes (1.84 t per person) in 2023. Philippines is a net importer of emissions: its consumption causes 31% more CO₂ than it emits at home.
Primary energy use: 5,633 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
