Electricity Fact for 18 September 2026

Daily fact Fact #13

-42%carbon intensity since 2015

Since 2015, Belgium has cut the carbon intensity of its electricity by 42%, from 215 gCO2/kWh to 126 gCO2/kWh in 2025.

Both figures are Ember annual statistics. The fall comes from the change in what Belgium burns and generates, not from generating less.
