How are GHG emissions distributed by sector in France?

In 2024, 369 Mt CO₂ eq of greenhouse gases were emitted in France (excluding LULUCF), down 32% compared to 1990. The biggest reductions in emissions were seen in the energy and manufacturing sectors, and to a lesser extent in the residential and services sectors. The transport sector is the only one not to have seen a reduction in its emissions between 1990 and 2024, even though the Covid-19 pandemic caused a marked but temporary drop in its emissions in 2020 and 2021. LULUCF (see glossary) shows negative emissions, corresponding to net CO₂ sequestration by biomass and soils.
