Turkmenistan carbon profile

Turkmenistan emits roughly 81 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.22% of global emissions, ranking #44 worldwide. At 10.8 tonnes per person (#13 per capita), its footprint is well above the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have surged over the past five years (+30%) and surged over the decade (+29%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 0% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~30% by 2030 as the economy expands. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
