Global warming

Largest carbon emissions of Estonia in respect to global warming is from oil shale in Estonia. The Estonian energy company Eesti Energia owns the largest oil shale-fuelled power plants in the world: Narva Power Plants.^[7] In Estonia in 2007 more than 90% of power was generated from oil shale.^[8]
