Georgia carbon profile

Georgia emits roughly 11 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.03% of global emissions, ranking #96 worldwide. At 2.9 tonnes per person (#70 per capita), its footprint is below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have risen noticeably over the past five years (+10%) and surged over the decade (+20%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 75% 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.
