The state of Estonia’s power emissions

Across the 3 Estonia power plants carrying an asset-level CO₂ figure in this open dataset, total emissions are about 1.8 Mt CO₂/yr. The single largest emitter, Eesti Elektrijaam (oil), accounts for about 70% of that 3-plant reported subset (not of the whole country). The top three owners — Eesti Energia AS, Enefit Green [100%] — control roughly 30% of that 3-plant reported subset. Most of these plants sit in a continental Köppen climate zone.
