The state of Czech Republic’s power emissions

Across the 32 Czech Republic power plants carrying an asset-level CO₂ figure in this open dataset, total emissions are about 21.8 Mt CO₂/yr. The single largest emitter, Pocerady power station (coal), accounts for about 19% of that 32-plant reported subset (not of the whole country). The top three owners — CEZ Group, Severní Energetická, Alpiq Group — control roughly 68% of that 32-plant reported subset. Most of these plants sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
