Analysis

The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Congo is 2.75 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.

The figure is up 1.4% on the previous year and up 520.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Congo peaked at 2.96 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1991.

That places Congo 102nd out of 194 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.

A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
