Where Togo's CO₂ comes from
Oil is the largest source. Oil dominates — mostly transport fuel, so electrifying vehicles matters most here.
Per person: Togo vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Togo's consumption-based footprint was 8.6 million tonnes (1.05 t per person) in 2023. Togo is a net importer of emissions: its consumption causes 224% more CO₂ than it emits at home.
Primary energy use: 1,519 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
