france - an example for sustainable power productionFrance saw an unprecedented development of solar capacities in 2021, three times more than in previous years, according to RTE's [Reseau Transmission Energie - Energy Transmission Network], just published annual report. Low-carbon (not emitting greenhouse gases) electricity production in France reached more than 92% in 2021, with very limited use of fossil-fuel powered production. The carbon contribution in the French electricity mix is thus one of the lowest in the world, six times less than the European average. France has also retained its position as the leading European exporter of electricity according to the RTE report. Exports s (87 TWh of exports and 44 TWh of imports) vary greatly according to periods and borders. The main source of production, nuclear, provided 361 TWh, or 69% of French electricity.
Thus, the carbon contribution in the French electricity mix remains one of the lowest in the world, a carbon contribution of 36 gCO2/kWh, or 6 times less than the European average. related documents
