The majority of Saudi Arabia's greenhouse gas emissions are produced by its electricity, transportation and manufacturing sectors. These elements of the Saudi Arabian economy require a great deal of energy, most of which is generated through the use of fossil fuels. In 2019, the total carbon dioxide emissions for the country was 559.6 million tons. Due to its quickly growing population which is accompanied by increased electricity demand and expansion of the manufacturing sector, energy demand is continuing to rise and with it so are greenhouse gas emissions. Between 2007 and 2021 Saudi Arabia saw its population increase by more than 40% from 25.18 million to 35.45 million people. At the same time, the nation's gross domestic product rose by about 45% and electricity used per capita rose by 1.378 MWh, further contributing to its emissions. Saudi Arabia produces and exports the largest amounts of petroleum liquids of any nation in the world, but it is also one of the largest consumers. In 2017, it used an average of 3,328,000 barrels per day, placing it sixth in global use of fuel. It was also high on the list for electricity usage with its 295 billion kWh making it thirteenth in the world.
