Europe's carbon dioxide emissions intensity was 0.13 kilograms per U.S. dollar (kCO₂/$15p) in 2022. Europe's CO₂ emissions intensity has decreased by roughly 46 percent since 2000, and is now the lowest CO₂ intensity worldwide, when compared to other regions.

(in kilograms of CO₂ per U.S. dollar)
Characteristic
CO₂ emission intensity in kilograms per U.S. dollar
*Carbon dioxide intensity is the ratio of CO₂ emissions from fuel combustion over Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and measures the CO₂ emitted to generate one unit of GDP. GDP is expressed at constant exchange rate (2015 U.S. dollar, using purchasing power parities). This removes the impact of inflation. CO₂ emissions cover only the emissions for fossil fuels combustion.
