Global · 2027
IEA projects CO2 emissions intensity of electricity generation worldwide at 400 g CO2/kWh in 2027.
CO2 emissions intensity of electricity generation: every country and year, and how it is measured
What the source says
Over the forecast period of 2025-2027, global CO2 intensity is expected to fall by an average of 3.6% annually, declining from 445 g CO2/kWh in 2024 to 400 g CO2/kWh in 2027.
Checked: the figure 400 g CO2/kWhis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
