In 2022, natural gas power in Mexico emitted 92 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e). Natural gas accounted for roughly 55 percent of electricity generation in Mexico in 2022.
Other fossil fuels such as oil and other petroleum products accounted for less than 25 percent of Mexico's power sector emissions in 2022, down from more than 60 percent in 2000.
Power sector emissions in Mexico from 2000 to 2022, by source
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
Figures aim to include full lifecycle emissions including upstream methane, supply-chain and manufacturing emissions, and include all gases, converted into CO₂ equivalent over a 100 year timescale.
*Other fossil includes generation from oil and petroleum products, as well as manufactured gases and waste. **Other Renewables generation includes geothermal, tidal and wave generation.
