Albania carbon profile

Albania emits roughly 4.5 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.01% of global emissions, ranking #110 worldwide. At 1.6 tonnes per person (#87 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have edged down over the past five years (-5%) and crept up over the decade (+5%). The recent decline marks a turnaround after a decade of growth.

Renewables supply about 99% of electricity. The power sector is largely decarbonized, so remaining emissions come mostly from transport, industry and heating.

Emissions are likely to stay near current levels through 2030 absent major policy change. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
