Countries ranked by gas share of electricity

Natural gas emits roughly half as much CO₂ per kWh as coal, which made it the transition fuel of choice in many countries. This ranking shows the share of electricity generated from gas.

Gas-rich states in the Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa top the list, often generating almost all their power from domestic gas.

Ranking rule. Countries and territories that generate less than 1 TWh of electricity a year (mostly small islands) are left out, because one diesel generator or one solar farm can swing their shares by tens of points. Values older than 2020 are also excluded.
