Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Zambia is 0.0014 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 96.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Zambia peaked at 0.131 Mt CO2e in 1976 and was at its lowest, 0.0006 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Zambia 135th out of 190 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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 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).
