Honduras carbon profile

Honduras emits roughly 13 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.03% of global emissions, ranking #94 worldwide. At 1.2 tonnes per person (#92 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have risen noticeably over the past five years (+17%) and surged over the decade (+35%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 55% of electricity. The energy transition is well underway, but fossil generation still sets the emissions baseline.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~17% by 2030 as the economy expands. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
