November 12, Fineko/abc.az. According to Global Carbon Budget 2026, presented by the Global Carbon Project within the COP31, in 2025, carbon dioxide (co₂) emissions in Azerbaijan related to the use of fossil fuels and industrial processes decreased by 2.2% compared to the previous year, reaching the lowest level in the last 5 years. The level is 38.39 million tons.

According to the report, after 42.28 million tons in 2023 and 39.24 million tons in 2024, this figure has dropped by 9.2% over the past 2 years. At that, last year the volume of emissions per capita in Azerbaijan amounted to 3.69 tons, which is about 22% lower than the global average (4.74 tons).

Against the background of a 1.2% increase in global emissions, the expansion of green energy production in Azerbaijan also contributed to a reduction in this indicator. Thus, in 2025, electricity generation from wind and solar power plants increased by 26.7%, reaching 769.5 million kWh. In the first 9 months of 2026, electricity generation from wind farms alone grew 11-fold up to 768.7 million kWh.
