Kazakhstan had one the largest average carbon factors worldwide in 2022, emitting 3.11 metric tons of carbon dioxide per metric ton of oil equivalent energy consumed (tCO₂/toe). Countries with high carbon factors are typically those that rely heavily on coal and oil within their energy mix.
In contrast, Sweden had a carbon factor below one tCO₂/toe. This was primarily due to renewable sources accounting for a large share of the country's total energy consumption.
