Global carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation are forecast to decrease by 464 million metric tons (MtCO₂) between 2023 and 2026. The biggest overall reduction in emissions from power generation is expected to be in China, at almost 240 MtCO₂ from 2023 to 2026. This would account for almost half the global emission reductions from electricity generation during this period. By comparison, India's power sector emissions are forecast to increase by 114 MtCO₂.
