Where Tajikistan'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: Tajikistan vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Tajikistan's consumption-based footprint was 13.0 million tonnes (1.25 t per person) in 2023. Tajikistan is a net importer of emissions: its consumption causes 27% more CO₂ than it emits at home.
Primary energy use: 5,042 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
