Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Nigeria stood at 10.96 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.3% on the previous year and up 37.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Nigeria peaked at 11.33 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.862 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Nigeria ranks 48th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top 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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
