Summary/Abstract: This paper examines greenhouse gas emissions from the ICT sector across the 27 European Union countries, analyzing both manufacturing and services components. Using EUROSTAT data, the analysis reveals fundamental asymmetries: ICT manufacturing emissions concentrate in lower ranges across most countries, while ICT services emissions distribute more widely with substantial high-emission clusters. Carbon dioxide dominates emissions, though methane and nitrous oxide contribute significantly when measured in CO₂ equivalents. Emission profiles reflect national ICT sector structures, energy mixes, and specializations.
