Luxembourg carbon profile

Luxembourg emits roughly 7.0 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.02% of global emissions, ranking #106 worldwide. At 10.5 tonnes per person (#14 per capita), its footprint is well above the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have fallen sharply over the past five years (-28%) and fallen sharply over the decade (-28%). The sustained downward trajectory suggests structural decarbonization rather than a one-off dip.

Renewables supply about 92% of electricity. The power sector is largely decarbonized, so remaining emissions come mostly from transport, industry and heating.

If the current pace holds, Luxembourg could cut another ~28% by 2030. Per-capita consumption — transport, buildings, industry — is the next frontier.
