Sweden's power sector carbon emissions totaled 6.77 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) in 2023, slightly down from the previous year. In 2014, the power sector emissions in Sweden reached a record low of some 6.17 MtCO2e. In 2023, Sweden had one of the lowest power sector carbon intensity in the EU, at around 40 grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated.
