The transportation sector accounted for the largest share of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Nordic countries in 2023, amounting to almost 50 MtCO₂e. Agriculture ranked second, with over 26 MtCO₂e emitted, and fuel exploitation followed closely with 25.35 MtCO₂e emitted. Norway accounted for roughly 63 percent of fuel exploitation GHG emissions in the Nordics. The country is one of the leading oil-producing countries worldwide, with two million barrels produced per day in 2023.
