Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial processes in Uganda stood at 1.97 Mt CO2e.
The figure is up 1.3% on the previous year and up 114.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial processes in Uganda peaked at 2.02 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0416 Mt CO2e, in 1985.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
