The carbon intensity of Austria's power sector has been on a mostly downward trend since the beginning of the century. In 2023, Austria's power sector emissions stood at over 110 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour (gCO₂/KWh) of electricity generated, a decrease of 60 percent in comparison to the more than 280 gCO₂/KWh registered in 2003. Austria has one of the least carbon-intensive power sectors in the EU.
