Estonia vs Russia: Production vs. consumption-based carbon intensity of energy
Production vs. consumption-based carbon intensity of energy over time
- Estonia
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 0.2198 kg CO₂ per kWh against 0.2056 kg CO₂ per kWh in Estonia, a difference of 0.0142 kg CO₂ per kWh.
That makes Russia's figure about 1.1 times Estonia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 25 shared years of data; in 1995 it was Estonia ahead.
Estonia ranks 12th and Russia ranks 11th of 43 countries.
Estonia has averaged higher in every one of the 3 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Estonia | Russia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 0.2806 kg CO₂ per kWh | 0.2316 kg CO₂ per kWh | 0.049 kg CO₂ per kWh | Estonia |
| 2000s | 0.2827 kg CO₂ per kWh | 0.2348 kg CO₂ per kWh | 0.0479 kg CO₂ per kWh | Estonia |
| 2010s | 0.2575 kg CO₂ per kWh | 0.2306 kg CO₂ per kWh | 0.0269 kg CO₂ per kWh | Estonia |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
Carbon intensity is measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted per kilowatt-hour of energy. Consumption-based metrics adjust for the energy or emissions embedded in traded goods: it is production-based emissions and energy minus exported goods; plus the energy or emissions from imported goods.
