Where Slovenia's CO₂ comes from
Oil is the largest source. Oil dominates — mostly transport fuel, so electrifying vehicles matters most here.
Per person: Slovenia vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Slovenia's consumption-based footprint was 19.7 million tonnes (9.32 t per person) in 2023. Slovenia is a net importer of emissions: its consumption causes 64% more CO₂ than it emits at home.
Primary energy use: 37,361 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
