Analysis

Congo recorded 3.82 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 15.8% on the previous year and up 53.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Congo peaked at 12.26 Mt CO2e in 1974 and was at its lowest, 0.7014 Mt CO2e, in 1979.

Congo ranks 53rd of 190 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
