Egypt carbon profile

Egypt emits roughly 258 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.69% of global emissions, ranking #25 worldwide. At 2.2 tonnes per person (#81 per capita), its footprint is below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have risen noticeably over the past five years (+10%) and risen noticeably over the decade (+14%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 13% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~10% by 2030 as the economy expands. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
