Caption

Kunda hydroelectric power plant was build in 1893 on the rapids of the river of Kunda to supply electricity to the cement factory and is the first hydroelectric power plant in the Baltics with a 240-horsepower turbine.

Estonia is the second-largest emitter of CO₂ per capita in the European Union. The reason for that is oil shale, sedimentary rock that has been mined in Estonia for electricity generation since the fifties and, since recently, have also been used for liquid diesel fuel production.

Over 90 per cent of Estonia’s CO₂ emissions come from burning oil shale for electricity, and oil shale contributes significantly to other pollution and waste levels in the country.
