Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Gabon is 0.1629 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.4% on the previous year and down 55.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Gabon peaked at 0.3819 Mt CO2e in 2013 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Gabon 147th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
